Hi Their,
I have another question when trying to rename the file it says that the file
is in use. Would you have to stop and start the Radius Service in the batch
file aswell? if so how? and also instead of giving the file name acctx.log
can i automatically add acct<date>.log giving a date stamp to the logfile?
Id like to thank all that have replied so far....
Regards,
Vinay
