logrotate entire directory containing log files

Logrotate only operates upon individual files in directories, not the entire directory as a single entity. The most straight-forward solution would be a cronjob that calls something like gzip on that directory then moves/deletes files as you see fit.

A simple shell script scheduled as a crontab should work, given that LOG_DIR doesn't have other tarballs that would be unintentionally removed:

#!/bin/bashDIR_ROTATE_DAYS=7TARBALL_DELETION_DAYS=60LOG_DIR=/var/log/<program>/cd $LOG_DIRlog_line "compressing $LOG_DIR dirs that are $DIR_ROTATE_DAYS days old...";for DIR in $(find ./ -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d -mtime +"$((DIR_ROTATE_DAYS - 1))" | sort); do  echo -n "compressing $LOG_DIR/$DIR ... ";  if tar czf "$DIR.tar.gz" "$DIR"; then    echo "done" && rm -rf "$DIR";  else    echo "failed";  fidoneecho "removing $LOG_DIR .tar.gz files that are $TARBALL_DELETION_DAYS days old..."for FILE in $(find ./ -maxdepth 1 -type f -mtime +"$((TARBALL_DELETION_DAYS - 1))" -name "*.tar.gz" | sort); do  echo -n "removing $LOG_DIR/$FILE ...
