Truncating the Nagios logs

[Matthew.Quinney at hollandandholland.com]

Eric & Lane,

Thanks for your help. I thought I might be able to apply regular Unix 
commands to the file (ie blank it and create a new one). Is there such a 
command I could use to shorten the log file, ie remove the top 1000 lines 
for example, or entries earlier than dd/mm/yy ?

Many thanks

Matthew
