Jun 14, 2017 at 15:48 comment added derobert @HolisticIT yes, you'll need to periodically clear out the file. If you can change what you're running, you could (for example) run it through cronolog to automatically rotate the log file. Or through syslog. Or systemd's journal.
Jun 14, 2017 at 15:45 comment added Holistic IT I see. In this case, I could simply make my processes write their relevant output directly to the file, or just pipe the output to the file, I guess. My concern is, does the output just pile up in the file? What do I do later when gigabytes of output have piled up in the file? Do I need to periodically log on (or set up a cron job or something) to empty out the file?
