Hi Tim,

That is a very good point. It's something I run once a month in the middle
of the night and have been doing for 12 months. To explain I use GeoIP via
the Perl binding from the policyd-weight daemon that I've modified to do
geoip lookups. Would something like a copy then truncate work which is what
I use with tomcat logrotation?
