[SunHELP] Shell Script

[Edward Chase]

It might do you a world of good for you to pick up a shell scripting book 
or two.  I don't mean to sound cruel or mean, I've just noticed that you've 
asked the group for several scripts.

While not a script, here's what you want to do...

stop service
mv service.log service.log.old
tail -100 service.log.old > service.log
restart service
