Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Deployment:
Startup Command and Parameter Reference

> ## Clear Log (-clearlog)

> Use Clear Log (`-clearlog`) to delete any file that matches the name of the specified client log file identified by the Client Logging (-clientlog) parameter.

> Operating system and syntax | UNIX Windows | `-clearlog`
> Use with | Maximum value | Minimum value | Single-user default | Multi-user default
> Client Session | – | – | – | –

> Note: This parameter is valid only for interactive or batch clients. WebSpeed agents and AppServers will silently ignore it.

> In the following example, the client will delete the log file `debug.log`, if it exists, and then open `debug.log` as the client log file:

>     prowin32.exe -p myprog.p -clientlog debug.log -clearlog

> In the following example, the client will delete all the log files matching the name `debug.log`; such as `debug.000001.log` through `debug.000003.log`. Then the client will open `debug.000001.log` as the client log file, as shown.

>     prowin32.exe -p myprog.p -clientlog debug.log -clearlog -logthreshold 1000000

> WebSpeed agents and AppServers will silently ignore the Client Logging (-clientlog) parameter. The broker handles the clearing of the WebSpeed and AppServer server logs, through the `srvrLogAppend` property in the `ubroker.properties` file.
