Rails views are ERB files and inside you can do anything what is doable
with ruby.

If you want to display the current log file for example:

<%= File.open("#{RAILS_ROOT}/log/#{RAILS_ENV}.log") { |f| f.read }
%>

File::truncate("#{RAILS_ROOT}/log/#{RAILS_ENV}.log", 0)

Now:

rake clear_logs

Rails 1.1

rake logs:clear

Can you run this command inside a controller?

No, those are Rake[1]tasks. They are run from the command line.

You can list all the available rake tasks for your app with: rake -T.
