Well that took some time. Here is my final script i have come up with. Hope it's ok
I took some of the logs out of the loop and will monitor those manually for the time being. I kept some in and crashreporter i kept but i made a rule to only rotate it if its not being used. My logic being if there's a crash being reported i don't really want to be stopping the process. I took weekly.out, monthly.out and daily.out because i figured that this script that is called weekly, when it is running maybe will be the time weekly.out is being written to plus in a config file somewhere that had weekly.out set a log file path it had a config line saying that log clean is enabled. So I'm hoping that they are already being taken care of.
The other ones i left in are being handled by servermgrd or syslog which are safe and easy to restart. My only concerns now are still what weekly_out.log was and the rysnc_backup.log that is 643kb so ideally wouldn't mind rotating but couldn't find much info about. Well i'll just see how this goes for now.
