There's loads of stuff for managing logfiles knocking about.
I know you said you'd looked at the Guide, but what was the version
you last downloaded? There's a bit in control.pod about Log Rotation.
Once you've rotated the live file out you can tell cron to gzip it (or
whatever) with complete confidence.
What you're doing sounds a bit scary to me, are you really desperate
to save CPU cycles?
