sorted thanks, here is the complete script

Code:
#!/bin/bash

# Check logfile is specified in command line

if [ $# -lt 1 ] ; then
        echo
        echo You need to specify the logfile to rotate i.e. /var/syslogs/riverstone
        exit 0
fi

# Set Variables

LOGFILE="$1"
FileDate=`date +%d%m%Y`
OUTFILE=$LOGFILE.$FileDate.gz

#Rotate File

cat $LOGFILE | gzip -9 > $OUTFILE && > $LOGFILE
#

a bit rough and ready but it does the job
