And what is your exact question?

I have a script to rotate my logs every night as well on my FreeBSD
boxes. I don't know what the problem is you are experiencing, but it
might give you some inspiration: (you have to fix the line breaks yourself):

--------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
set -e

yesterday_secs=`perl -e 'print time -43200'`
yesterday_date=`date -r $yesterday_secs +%Y%m%d`

cd /usr/local/squid/logs/

# rename the current log file without interrupting the logging process

mv /usr/local/squid/logs/access.log
/usr/local/squid/logs/access.log.$yesterday_date
mv /usr/local/squid/logs/store.log
/usr/local/squid/logs/store.log.$yesterday_date
mv /usr/local/squid/logs/cache.log
/usr/local/squid/logs/cache.log.$yesterday_date

# tell Squid to close the current logs and open new ones

/usr/local/sbin/squid -k rotate

# give Squid some time to finish writing swap.state files
/bin/sleep 30

mv /usr/local/squid/logs/access.log.$yesterday_date
/usr/local/squid/logs/archive/
mv /usr/local/squid/logs/store.log.$yesterday_date
/usr/local/squid/logs/archive/
mv /usr/local/squid/logs/cache.log.$yesterday_date
/usr/local/squid/logs/archive/

gzip -9 /usr/local/squid/logs/archive/access.log.$yesterday_date
gzip -9 /usr/local/squid/logs/archive/store.log.$yesterday_date
gzip -9 /usr/local/squid/logs/archive/cache.log.$yesterday_date

chmod 666 /usr/local/squid/logs/archive/*
