Hi,

Which command is the right way to open a alert log file of below size.

-rw-r----- 1 oracle asmadmin 28070129 Dec 17 08:06 alert_DEMO.log

I used to open a alert log file using vi editor. Is that a right way to open and view a alert log ?

Regards,
Jack

Use any editor available on your server.
Use "view" instead of "vi" as the former is read-only.
