I have added the following lines to /etc/logrotate.conf
# system-specific logs may be configured here
/var/log/messages {
           rotate 5
           weekly
           create 0644
           postrotate
                                     /sbin/killall -HUP syslogd
                                     /usr/local/bin/summsg
           endscript
}
Previously log was rotated on 16 23 30 Sep.Even on Oct 31st log is not 
rotated.
Any clues?
my original file above this addition was
# see "man logrotate" for details
# rotate log files weekly
weekly
 
# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 4
 
# send errors to root
errors root
 
# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
create
 
# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
#compress
 
# RPM packages drop log rotation information into this directory
include /etc/logrotate.d
 
# no packages own lastlog or wtmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {
    monthly
    create 0664 root utmp
    rotate 1
}
 
# system-specific logs may be configured here
