Well you could erase things *inside* the directory, which it
looks like that command does.  I'd have to tinker with it, no
time.  But as an alternative have you tried newsyslog (man 8
newsyslog)?  If you don't get into the ISO 8601 time formatting
garbage it should take you about 5 minutes to set up log
rotation.  If you get into the ISO 8601 hooha it should take 10.
