It could be a problem .... hobbitlaunch just appends to the file. I
honestly haven't tested that scenario, and I guess it would be very OS
- even OS-version - dependant.

Use whatever tool you normally use for log rotation. Rotate the logs,
then run "~hobbit/hobbit.sh rotate" to have Hobbit re-open the
logfiles.
