AFAIK you will have to stop the continuous process and restart it. Otherwise the disk will fill up.

Unless there is a lock on the file
Code:
> path/to/file

will truncate the file, even while the logger is writing to it. So I don't get what other manipulations you would need - maybe "tail -10000 >anotherfile " the last entries if you need them.
