Hi Cesar,
I have an idea that may work with some scripting. You could write a
little
script that monitors the size of the log file. Once it reaches a certain
threshhold, the script could use "fuser" to see which process has the file
open and kill that process. Then, schedule the job to run as often as
needed. However, this will work if only the processes you want to kill
actually open the log file. Otherwise, you man inadvertantly kill other
processes that you want to keep running.
Another option may be to create a user specifically for running that
job and
set a file system quota for the user. However, that wouldn't necessarily
kill the job once the log reached a certain size unless the program that
creates the log was modified to die if it can't write to it's log file.
I hope this helps,
