Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Linux file locking question (semi-off topic)
Alright, I sent out a totally innocent question to the list and didn't get a single suggestion. I'm very disappointed in you people.
So, let me say that I figured it out without your help.
And I ain't saying what I did.
So there. PPPHHHHHHTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!

Okay, this doesn't have much to do with Oracle other than the fact that I have been assigned with figuring out why this problem is occurring.
We have a live chat application on Linux that uses Tomcat to manage its java servlets. A log is written to by the java processes, and this log can get rather large.
Problem is, these java processes keep some sort of a write lock on the log and we can't clear the log out. Using lsof, I can get a listing of the java processes holding a lock on the log. One such process looks like this:
java 32180 root 6w REG 48,1 186487009 18036 /usr/local/pkg/tomcat/tomcat-3.2.3/logs/servlet.log
Bottom line is, how can I clear these write locks without killing the java processes? Somebody must know how. I couldn't possibly the first person on earth to encounter this problem.
