You should be able to set 'log_truncate_on_rotation=on' in postgresql.conf
and then run:
select pg_rotate_logfile();
That should rotate it, and if you have your log_filename setup with day of
week only, it should truncate and restart in the same logfile. Haven't
tested it, so I may be wrong, but it's worth a shot.
