On Linux, locate the listener.log file of the Oracle Database. Then, use the following procedure to zip & truncate the listener.log file of an Oracle Database:

$ zip listener.log.zip listener.log
$ cat /dev/null > listener.log

This will zip and truncate the listener.log file and the Oracle Database will automatically create a new listener.log file and start writing to it.
