Don't forget that you'll need to restart Apache at the same time
("apachectl graceful" in cron, I guess), otherwise it will keep logging
to the old file. Alternatively it looks as if newsyslog supports specifying a
pid file anyway, so I guess you could use:
/path/to/my/apachelog 644 7 * @01T00 Z /var/run/httpd.pid
