How can I do this w/o restarting services or rebooting?
copy/truncate.
copy log file to a new file and truncate the original (cat /dev/null >filename)
Or setup a logrotate config with the copytruncate option.
There is a chance I believe to drop some log events between the copy and the truncate depending on how active the log is.
Or use a log service such as syslog.
