I think it may be unnecessary to remove the nulls. I presume you are rotating the logs to save space? You may find that the file has now become a 'sparse' file. If you run a du -k logfile does the size reported match the same size as in ls -l logfile? If the du size is much smaller then it is a sparse file and not using much space, so you may as well leave it as it is.
