You shouldn't need to rotate your logs more than once a week.

Ok

Those are backticks ( the key that shares space with the tilde ~ ) that are
surrounding the cat command, not the single qoute (the key that shares with
double quote " ). It tells the shell to execute the statement contained and then
pass it's output to the called program. Try it again with backticks.
