1. Check Point Support Center, sk33327: "How to debug VPN - IKE and IPsec - on Check Point Security Gateway". This official knowledge base article explicitly lists and describes the vpndebug command options. In the "Solution" section, it states:
vpndebug on - Turns on the debug.
vpndebug trunc - Truncates the debug files...
vpndebug truncon - Truncates the debug files and turns on the debug.
This source directly validates that truncon is the correct parameter for the combined action.
2. Check Point R81.10 Security Gateway and Management CLI Reference Guide. In the section detailing command-line utilities, the guide describes the vpndebug command.
Page 1081: The guide lists the usage and parameters for vpndebug, confirming that truncon is a valid parameter that "Truncates debug log files and starts debug." This confirms the functionality described in the question maps directly to the truncon parameter.
