So change that to truncate instead of rm?

you can either:

$ > filename
$ cp /dev/null filename

Both will truncate the file. (no leading $, that's just your prompt)

also, you can use logrotate! :) (probably already installed. see `man
logrotate`, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log_rotation, etc. logrotate
can do truncation, make sure the new file after a move has the right
perms, run arbitrary commands before/after, etc.)
