Comment (by andysem):
> Appending will be useful, thanks. I didn't know about this option. When
I searched for appending to earlier log files recently, I found some
threads in discussion forums that said that this is impossible. I take it
that this is fairly recent?
No, it's there for quite some time.
> As to the empty file, the problem is that there a new empty file created
on every run. So, while the file system is full, I get a new empty file
for each and every run of my process. (Many of my processes are short-
lived.) That doesn't seem right to me. Why leave an empty log file behind?
Unless you enable appending, you get a new file regardless of the file
emptiness or space exhaustion. This behavior seems logical to me. Empty
files can also be an indication of a certain behavior of the app, so they
are not completely worthless.
