ra not reading a 1GB radium.out file

[Monah Baki]

Hi Carter,

I used the following command "rastream -r radium.out -M time 30m -w
%Y/%m/%d/radium.%Y.%m.%d.%H.%M.%S" per the example, but the radium.out file
is still at 1Gb plus, due to disk space in /var/log, I need to 0 radium.out
and have it start all over again

Thanks
Monah
