This doesn't answer your question, but I would look in to how the log
files are rotated, there might be hooks to run logresolve, or a script
from there.

If not, another approach, which coincidently contains the answer to your
question

# get a list of logs directories, might not be the safest way to do it
# if there are a lot of directories in home, it might fail.
for DIR in `ls -d /home/*/logs`; do
  # find *-access.log files that were last modified over a day ago
  # we don't want to touch the current log file.
  find $DIR -name '*-access.log' -mtime +1 | while read FILE; do
     T=`basename ${FILE} .log`
     ROG="${T}.rog"
     # run logresolve and test if it was successful. 
     # The answer to your question
     if logresolve < ${FILE} > ${ROG} ;then
        rm ${FILE}
     else
        echo $0: error logresolving ${FILE}
     fi
done

This is completely untested, it also relys on logresolve returning
true on success and false on failure. It will be a few days behind in
logresolving files, but you could fix that if you wanted to.
