Use UNIX logrotate on Oracle logs?

edited Apr 28, 2016 3:38AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered

Are there any dangers with regards to using UNIX logrotate (with copytruncate) on Oracle logs such as alert log, listener log, trace file, audit files? Will the database processes still be able to write log events to the file before/during/after the logrotate truncates the file?

Howdy, Stranger!
