My script above is to get rid of the older portion of large files while maintaining the newer portion. It could downsize when a file hits a certain number of characters instead of number of lines. Both the wc and tail commands support number of characters.
But if you just want to empty the large files, that's a lot easier. The easiest way to empty a file and leave it there is:
> myfile
and if running as root, ownership and file permissions will remain unchanged. Normally you can use the -exec parameter on a find command to do some command on each qualifying file, such as:
find . -name "test*" -exec rm {} \;
but I was not able to get the redirection command above to work in this context. But there are several ways to feed the filenames, such as piping into xargs. I would suggest the following, but test it first by replacing the "> $fn" with "echo $fn":

I'm trying to set the open files value to 4000 on a SLES 9 system.
Current values:ulimit -n

I can set it using this:ulimit -n 4000
ulimit -n
4000
But this obviously sets it only for the shell session where I run the command to set it. I want to set this to 4000 for all time.

SCRIPTMGR(1)SCRIPTMGR(1)NAME
scriptmgr - utility for controlling other skytools scripts.
SYNOPSIS
scriptmgr.py [switches] config.ini <command> [-a | job_name ... ]
DESCRIPTION
scriptmgr is used to manage several scripts together. It discovers potential jobs based on config file glob expression. From config file it
gets both job_name and service type (that is the main section name eg [cube_dispatcher]). For each service type there is subsection in the
config how to handle it. Unknown services are ignored.
COMMANDS
status
scriptmgr config.ini status
Show status for all known jobs.
start
scriptmgr config.ini start -a
scriptmgr config.ini start job_name1 job_name2 ...
launch script(s) that are not running.
stop
scriptmgr config.ini stop -a
scriptmgr config.ini stop job_name1 job_name2 ...
stop script(s) that are running.
restart
scriptmgr config.ini restart -a
scriptmgr config.ini restart job_name1 job_name2 ...
restart scripts.
reload
scriptmgr config.ini reload -a
scriptmgr config.ini reload job_name1 job_name2 ...
Send SIGHUP to scripts that are running.
CONFIG
Common configuration parameters
job_name
Name for particulat job the script does. Script will log under this name to logdb/logserver. The name is also used as default for PgQ
consumer name. It should be unique.
pidfile
Location for pid file. If not given, script is disallowed to daemonize.
logfile
Location for log file.
loop_delay
If continuisly running process, how long to sleep after each work loop, in seconds. Default: 1.
connection_lifetime
Close and reconnect older database connections.
log_count
Number of log files to keep. Default: 3
log_size
Max size for one log file. File is rotated if max size is reached. Default: 10485760 (10M)
use_skylog
If set, search for [./skylog.ini, ~/.skylog.ini, /etc/skylog.ini]. If found then the file is used as config file for Pythons logging
module. It allows setting up fully customizable logging setup.

Example config file
[scriptmgr]
job_name = scriptmgr_livesrv
logfile = ~/log/%(job_name)s.log
pidfile = ~/pid/%(job_name)s.pid
config_list = ~/scripts/conf/*.ini
# defaults for all service sections
[DEFAULT]
