How about a script that when fired up, counts the number of lines in the log (`wc -l`) and then starts at the first of the file and has it processes log entries it deletes the log entries until the line count of the log file has been reached?
That way, you process messages, reduce the size of the log, but will not miss any added log entries, and because you start with the initial count of the lines of the log, you won't miss new log entries.
The only problem that I can think of is a situation where you delete and the app writes at the exact same time.
