>From the CLI Guide...
fw logswitch creates a new active Log File. The current active Log
File is closed and renamed by default $FWDIR/log/current_time_stamp.log
unless you define an alternative name that is unique. The format of
the default name current_time_stamp.log is YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS.log. For
example: 2003-03-26_041200.log.
Warning:
. The Logswitch operation fails if a log file is given an pre-existing
file name.
. The rename operation fails on Windows if the active log that is being
renamed, is open at the same time that the rename operation is taking place;
however; the Logswitch will succeed and the file will be given the default
name $FWDIR/log/current_time_stamp.log.
The new Log File that is created is given the default name
$FWDIR/log/fw.log. Old Log Files are located in the same directory. A
SmartCenter server can use fw logswitch to switch a Log File on a remote
machine and transfer the Log File to the SmartCenter server.
When a log file is sent to the SmartCenter server, the data is compressed.

Robbie

What happens if you do a manually logswitch?
# fw logswitch
Do you get a new empty file or not?
