Justin,
Kewl!
There are a few users in the home directory as well, and those users do not
have a logs directory. How will logrotate handle that? (I am hoping you will
say it just ignores a non existent path/file).

Hi Justin,
Thanks for the reply. FYI I am using UNIX (freebsd).
Up tp this point, I have been using an sh script to rotate logs.
The logs in question are the access_log and error_log in each one of my
(Apache) virtual hosts.
logrotate looks like the cats meow!
I have read the man page and it states to use wildcards with caution (as
always). So I have one question:
Can I use a wildcard as such,
/home/*/logs/access_log
/home/*/logs/error_log
The '*' being the wildcard to denote the home dir for
virt_domain1.com
virt_domain2.ca
virt_domain3.net
...

Wildcards are fine. The man pages problem say to use them with caution to
avoid matching more files than you really intend. The easiest way to be
sure is just test the results of the wildcard with ls.
ls /home/*/logs/access_log
If the results are what you expect, then you are good to go. You can also
combine the two log filenames in the same logrotate rule to avoid
duplicating your settings.
Just keep in mind that with this setup, if a user has a file such as
/home/username/logs/access_log, then it will be rotated too. However, if
your setup doesn't allow users to create arbitrary directories/files like
that, then there is no need to worry.
