If you are running a RedHat system and you want to do all things funky with
your logs then you should look at doing it through logrotate. You
should be able to edit either one of the files in /etc/logrotate.d/ or
/etc/logrotate.conf to have arbitary command executed, before or after
a log is rotated. See man logrotate for details.
