I admit this is a strange and perhaps unnecessary question, but...
I have a openSUSE 10.0 server (was it openSUSE at that time) that is running fine. It has been up for over a year. A while back, the root file system filled up (ftp activity) and some log files are no longer being written to. For example, /var/log/messages. I know that I could reboot and all would be well. But this is Linux. Surely there is another way to restart activity to this file without resorting to a system restart. Any suggestions?
