log files rotation

Hi all,

has anyone got an example shell script used to rotate the log files in
apache?

I've got this far:-

#!/bin/sh
  PATH=/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin/:

  cd /usr/local/apache_log_backup
  mv logs-s-1.tgz logs-s-2.tgz
  mv logs-s-0.tgz logs-s-1.tgz
  mv logs-s.tgz logs-s-0.tgz
  tar -c -v -z -f logs-s.tgz /usr/home/logs/

but what do you do about deleting the existing logs, or can you just delete
all of the 'logs' contents and they get re-created?

thanks in advance!
