Tom,

It's fine to trim your listener.log file, while the listener and/or database
is up. You can/should also trim your alertSID.log, and sqlnet.log.

Also, keep deleting old files in ../bdump, ../cdump, ../udump directories,
and any audit files that may be generated (oracle sometimes automatically
creates them for all CONNECT INTERNAL commands, depending on the operating
system).

Happy trimming!
