how to delete/rename log file use by process

Hello-

I need some help in vb scripting for delete/rename a log file say server.log
which is use by java application and log keeps growing.

I want to roll over this log every midnight and and start the new log with
fress entry.

I tried simple delete/rename command scripts but I get error " file is used
by another process" and can archive the log and it keep growing in size which
is difficult to manage or stop the process to do the cleanup.

thanks, Ajay
system administrator
