It's in the /etc/crontab file where you can set the time for running those various updates or use anacrontab for which you must enable the daemon. I too switch my computer off at night and I ended up with monstrous files in /var/log since the log rotates were set at 4 in the morning and therefore never happened. There is a file where you can set what log-rotate will do such as to gzip the files I only can't remember now where that file is.
