How do I clear IBMASRSvc.log

We are running Windows 2000 SP4 on an IBM xseries.

There is a file on my c: named IBMASRSvc.log

This seems to be a part of the IBM Automatic Server Restart service.

The file has grown to 276Mb

Does anyone know how I clear it down ?

Goto Safe Mode and delete this file.

I think there is no way except deleting this file from Safe Mode because in Normal Mode you can't delete this or clear the log from this file because this file is being used by the IBM Automatic Server Restart Service.

There are other logs, like the event viewer, that I can clear down while in use, so why not this one ?

I followed your second post ie I stopped the service, saved a copy of the log and then deleted it from C: When I started the service again, the log was recreated, but that is OK, at present it is only 4k big, and I know now to keep an eye on it.

The reason that I was reluctant to stop the server completely was because all this is running on one of our company's mail servers !!!!

Thanks for your help. This was my first question posting. I hope I have done the right thing and you now have the points for your answer.

Thanks again
