How about this as an example -

"/home/user/var/log/httpd/*www*log" {
        daily
        rotate 1
        nocompress
        notifempty
        copytruncate
        missingok
        sharedscripts

        olddir /usr/local/log/httpd/archives

        postrotate
                DATE=`date --date=Yesterday +%y%m%d`
                cd /usr/local/log/httpd/archives
                for FOO in `ls *.1`
                do
                        mv $FOO `echo $FOO | cut -f1 -d.`.$DATE.log
                done
                gzip -9 *.$DATE.log
                sleep 60
                sync
                logger "[LOGROTATE] Rotated these logs: `echo
*.${DATE}.log.gz`"
        endscript

}
