You can certainly do that, but if you want more control over when the
script runs, it needs to be separate.  With the configuration we have,
everything in cron.daily will run at 04:02 in the local time zone.

I agree with you Bruce, we should keep flexibility and keep control over something as rotating logs.

The proposal to link logrotate to cron.daily seems not a good one to me
(as sysadmin).

As an aside, I had to reformat your message in my reply as it wasn't
very readable.  It was sent html only.  See if you can also have it send
in text mode.
