logrolling for dummies without root access

[Seth Gordon]

On one of our machines at work (running Digital Unix, if that
matters), there's a daemon process that spits information into a log
file.  We want to rotate that log file without stopping the daemon.
My google and freshmeat searches revealed a few application-specific
log rotaters, references to a "rotate" command that doesn't exist
on our system, and a lot of noise.

Is there a utility out there that can handle the job (that doesn't
need to be run by anyone with special privileges)?  Is this simple
enough for some clever ad hoc shell script to handle?

"Rav would never cross a bridge when an idolator was on it; he said, 'Maybe he
will be judged and I will be taken with him.'  Shmuel would only cross a
bridge when an idolator was on it; he said, 'Satan cannot rule two nations [at
once].'  Rabbi Yannai would examine [the bridge] and cross."  --Shabbat 32a
