How to set access.log and error.log files to zero length

Hello,
With Kubuntu 16 I made small command file with lines like :

1. rm /_wwwroot/lar/vtasks/storage/logs/*.log;
2. rm /_wwwroot/lar/vtasks/storage/logs/*.txt;
3. rm /_wwwroot/lar/vtasks/storage/logs/*.sql;
4. rm /_wwwroot/lar/vtasks/storage/framework/views/*.php;

It helps me to clear logs directory.

But there is some problems with Appache2 access.log and error.log files, as deleting the files I need to restart
my Appache2 to recreate access.log and error.log files.

Is there is a way using commands to set these access.log and error.log files to zero length, without deleting them?

I have full access to these files as it is local Appache2 server.

Thanks!

 

cat /dev/null > access.log
