I prefer the approach taken by the scanlogs shell
script from the INN distribution. For syslog files,
use :
cp ${SYSLOG_FILE} ${OLD}/${SYSLOG_FILE}
cat /dev/null > ${SYSLOG_FILE}
This works much better on a machine that does
it's own syslog file management, such as DEC
UNIX. My news.notice file does not exist in
the same place as the rest of the syslog files.
