I run a script that does this

The problem is, the log.log grows, it will get chopped in half by
the app at a point in size I define, I set mine pretty high. I
want to get those log lines in MySql, parsing 100MB files is not fun.
what happens if you do the following while your 'tail' is running
gsed -i '1,100000d' log.log
assumes that there are 100,000 lines+ in log.log - assumes that you
have processed the first 100,000 lines too.
-i "edit the file in place
'1,100000d' delete lines 1 through 100,000
I think that does it. I can get a line count of the log, and use that
in gsed to truncate the file to what I need. If more are added, it
does not matter, I am using the line count I originally got, which is
something less than what is in the log file to begin with.
Win! Thanks.
