It doesn't look as if Asterisk holds the file open, but rather opens it every
time it wants to add a record. So you can just have a cron script that renames
the file whenever you want, and Asterisk should recreate Master.csv the next
time it wants to write a CDR.

Try a crontab entry like this:

*/5 * * * * cd /var/log/asterisk/cdr-custom; mv Master.csv Master`date +'\%FT\%H:\%M'`.csv ; touch Master.csv 

Cheers
