how to clear up log file in primary database in log shipping ?

our database system is runninig in log shipping mode.
currently, primary database log file get much more bigger,
but I dare not shrink log file in primary database ,
because do this will affect log shipping.
any way reslove this?
regards!Backup Log has Active and Inactive Portions. To Truncate Inactive
portion user the following command in SQL Query Analyser
USE The following Command
BACKUP LOG { database_name | @.database_name_var }
WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY|||That would break the log shipping!
AFAIK, shrinking of log file should be OK in a log shipping scenario...

but according to your point
as time goes, the logfile will get bigger and bigger,
shrinking logfile is not the best way?
do you think so ?
I meant how to clear up logfile and don't affect log shipping?|||The log file is emptied each time you do backup of the transaction log. So, it will grow until it
has the size needed to accommodate the modifications you do between two log backups, so just let it
be the size it need to be. If you see it grow beyond that, you can perhaps have had a long running
transaction in the log preventing the file to be emptied to a high degree. See
