Hi all

As the /var/adm/binary.errlog of my systems grows very fat I need to
 reduce their size , but I do not want to loose the last events by using
 "cp /dev/null binary.errlog" .
"tail -1000 etc... " is neither good as the new file starts with a
corrupted entry ( fortunately dia or uerf can deal with it ).
Is there a clean way to do that ???

Tanks in advance for your help
