How about this as an example -
"/home/user/var/log/httpd/*www*log" {
daily
rotate 1
nocompress
notifempty
copytruncate
missingok
sharedscripts
olddir /usr/local/log/httpd/archives
postrotate
DATE=`date --date=Yesterday +%y%m%d`
cd /usr/local/log/httpd/archives
for FOO in `ls *.1`
do
mv $FOO `echo $FOO | cut -f1 -d.`.$DATE.log
done
gzip -9 *.$DATE.log
sleep 60
sync
logger "[LOGROTATE] Rotated these logs: `echo
*.${DATE}.log.gz`"
endscript
}
