Listener.log size limit on Windows

T.BuchesJul 24 2013 — edited Jul 24 2013

I know this question is Linux related, but wanted to share  a Windows problem I just recovered from involving a large listener.log file.

my database quit accepting remote connections when the listener.log file reach approx. 4GB size.

this unfortunately brought all of my apps to their knees.

took a while to figure out the size of the  listener.log file was the culprit. I guess it would not make any more entries and thus killed

any connections attempted.

I simply shut instance down, deleted listener.log and restarted and all was well.

I have been looking for information on how to control what is written to this file so as to not make it grow so big.

anyone have any ideas?
