We have a job that is in running state for long time even though it is not processing anything. We have identified the reason as log file becoming huge (more than 2.5gb!!) and it started giving "... computed blink do not match .." error while trying to access director logs.


After identifying the casue of warning messages, We have tried to stop job but it did not stop.
Is there any harm if we do CLEAR.FILE on log file while it is still in running state. We are hoping it will go to aborted status once we clear it and let us reset/rerun the job.

thanks

If you check "ps -ef|grep phantom" and don't see active threads, then the issue is that the STATUS file needs to be cleared. Your job is no longer running - it probably crashed when the log corrupted.

I suggest you using Director and do a Clear Status on the job, then of course the CLEAR.FILE RT_LOGnnnn will fix the corrupted log file.
