no, windows does not allow this but what also will work without touch mysqld is copy the existing file and empty it on Unix "> /path/mysqld.log" would do this, on windows maybe redirect echo of a empty string to the file, at least "whatever > /path/file.ext" works on windows too i am working this way since years with apache accesslogs to empty them at the begin of each month EXACTLY after webalizer has proceeded the accesslog from the specific vhost which is all controlled by a bash-script generated by a PHP script with access to the config-data :-)
