Looking at your shell script, I can't see offhand why it's failing.
Below you can find the shell script I'm using to rotate log files. Give
it a try and see if this gives you the "hangup" error.
#!/bin/sh
sleep 1
DATESTR=`/usr/local/bin/date -d yesterday +%Y%m%d`
if [ -f "/var/log/apache/httpd.$DATESTR.log" ]; then
echo "Log files have already being rotated today - quitting."
exit 1
fi
if [ -f "/var/log/apache/httpd.$DATESTR.log.gz" ]; then
echo "Log files have already being rotated AND compressed today - quitting."
exit 1
fi
mv /stats/logs/httpd-log /stats/logs/httpd.$DATESTR.log
mv /stats/logs/httpd-errors /stats/logs/httpd-errors.$DATESTR.log
#Restarting Server.
/usr/local/sbin/apachectl restart
# End of script
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Marc
