Do you have logrotate on your system?

If so you can setup a mrnet file in /etc/logrotate.d as show below and it will compress rename and rotate your logfile for you when it exceeds 5k in size (see man logrotate for more info).

Code:
/var/log/mrnet.log
{
    size 5k
    create
    compress
    rotate 4
    missingok
}
