You may simply copy or move "logrotate" from /etc/cron.daily in /etc/cron.hourly. Logrotate will then be executed hourly, have a look into /etc/logrotate.conf, /etc/logrotate.d and determine which files are due to be rotated. But as you cannot set other delays but "daily","weekly","monthly" (see man logrotate), I suggest some tricking: add "size 10k" in the /etc/logrotate.d/-file you created, so that logrotate will find it due every day or when its size grew bigger than 10k (i.e. very soon, more often than daily...).
For testing purposes, you may also just call /etc/cron.daily/logrotate by hand from the commandline.

Do I need to alter anything in Cron for it to run the logrotate script? What would I need to put into the hourly cron folder to make things happen more often to check they are working correctly?
