How to clear server.log in JBoss?

Question

How to clean server.log file from JBoss when JBoss is running ? When i try to do

echo 1 > server.log

I get an msg error message that the file is being used by another program (JBoss). Can I use the command line tool ( Windows or linux (I have CygWin )) or an application that I can write to delete this file myself?

PS I do not need this file to have 0kb, but I want it to have less than 100 MB .
