how to truncate the logs without kill memcached

[Sheldon Chen]

thanks for the quick response.  that's what I figured.  I should have
used 2>>memcached.log.
we preload memcached with large amount of data and I just wanted to see
how it goes...

No, and that's nothing to do with memcached; it's true of any program
where you're redirecting the output directly into a file.

Try piping output to some helper program that opens a new logfile every
so often. There are several such available (cronolog springs to mind).

Running with -vv in any kind of production environment is unusual. What
do you use all that information for, out of curiosity?
