There is a java process that makes logging to some file, e.g. err.log. I renamed it (w/o restarting java process), e.g. "mv err.log err.log0" and then see that java process continues logging to err.log0.

Why is that and what's logic behind it? Is it common for all unix/Linux platforms?

I've found one way so far: less +G filename, but it scrolls up line-by-line only with ↑.

What's a more powerful less usage which provides scrolling by page, backward pattern search, and so on?
