Monitor.log is in use

Hello,

While looking at the Webinator logs, I noticed that monitor.log is always in use, and it's getting large. Is there a way to rename it so it starts a new log file?

Thanks, John

On windows you have to stop the monitor service to rotate the log. Then restart the service.

On *nix you need to run
monitor -k
to stop the monitor after rotating the log. Restart it with
monitor
or just let it restart itself automatically the next time it's needed.

How can i be sure it is not needed (on windows) and that i can stop it?

The monitor is needed but will restart on it's own as needed.
