fwiw I have the following entry in /etc/crontab:

0   *   *   *   *   root    /home/munk/bin/sh/newsyslog.sh

where that script reads:

#!/bin/sh
YEAR=`date "+%Y"`
ROTATE_DIR=/home/munk/backup/log/$YEAR

if [ ! -d $ROTATE_DIR ]
then
	mkdir $ROTATE_DIR
fi

/usr/sbin/newsyslog -a $ROTATE_DIR

/usr/sbin/chown -R root:wheel $ROTATE_DIR \
&& /bin/chmod -R 750 $ROTATE_DIR

so the logfiles get rotated out into /home/munk/backup/log/$YEAR with
whatever compression/triggers are setup in /etc/newsyslog.conf.
