I rename, close, and archive the OPERATOR.LOG files on our clusters daily from a single batch job that uses SYSMAN to execute a procedure on all of the cluster members.  This code snippet is basically what you need.

$       define /user SYS$COMMAND OPA0:
$       reply/enable
$       define /user SYS$COMMAND OPA0:
$       reply /log      ! create the new log file
