Set your alarm Sunday morning for 7:30am and us 'top' maybe?

If you find it is something other than logrotate, I'd be interested
in hearing about it.  

I've been mulling over a way to get logrotate to handle old logs some
way besides either compressing them or mailing them.  And it really
mucks it up to have it compress them *then* mail them, since the
binary .gz file doesn't survive the mailing process all that well in
my experience.
