You can rotate the server log file manually by using the rotate-log subcommand in remote mode. The server log in the default location is immediately moved to a time-stamped file and a new server log is created.
Because log rotation is a dynamic operation, you do not need to restart Enterprise Server for changes to take effect.
Ensure that the server is running.
Remote subcommands require a running server.
Rotate a log by using the rotate-log(1) subcommand.
This example moves the server.log file to yyyy-mm-dd_server.log and creates a new server.log file in the default location.
