I work with a portal server which actually has log files which get updated while server is running.I was able to clear the text in the log file while the server doesnt run but when i tried to do the same while running the server i couldnt clear the text in the file. the command i used to clear when the server doesnt run is for %%f in (C:\wsapps\ebp\deployment\logs\portal.log) do (type nul > %%f)
Can you sugget how to change the command so that i can clear the text while my server is running.

It's not a DOS issue.
Likely you are running winders and winders has the file locked.
