logrotate all httpd log files - prerotate with awstats?

[GoranTornqvist]

On of our customers noticed that he had "holes" in his awstats statistics (days with no stats). I noticed that we were running awstats_updateall.pl at excactly 00:00 which is the same time that DA rotates httpd logfiles that reached the 5 MB limit, right?
I think the problem was that the logfiles were rotated before awstats had the chance to parse them.
I've changed so awstats_updateall.pl is running at 23:45 now which should do it. But i was thinking that it much better to do this with logrotate prerotate option, like:

/var/log/httpd/domains/*log {
rotate 3
size=5000k
prerotate
awstats_updateall.pl now -awstatsprog=/usr/local/directadmin/plugins/awstats/hooks/cgi-bin/awstats.pl > /dev/null 2>&1
endscript
postrotate
killall -HUP httpd
endscript
}

But it lookes like DA doesn't use logrotate...what I can see the logfiles is rotated with task.queue. Does task.queue support using prerotate? Any solution to my problem...or do I just have to run awstats at 23:45 like I do now?

Solution:

Change:

10 0 * * * root echo 'action=tally&value=all' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

to be:

10 0 * * * root /command/run/for/awstats; echo 'action=tally&value=all' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue;

in the /etc/cron.d/directadmin_cron
