(Using logrotate or any other tool)

I want create cron job with following script:

You can make a config file for logrotate that takes care of the log rotation. You can place it outside of logrotate.d and then just use it when calling logrotate manually.

Sample: 

/path/to/logs/*.log {
        missingok
        rotate 30
        compress
        delaycompress
        notifempty
        create 640 tomcat tomcat
        sharedscripts
}

And then make your script

#!/bin/bash
service tomcat stop
logrotate -f /path/to/your/newly/created/conf/for/logrotate.conf
init 6
