hehe, strange i was rooting through this this monring...
most replacement cron daemons like anacron will (as far as i know) compensate for these kind of situations and run things on boot (typically after a certain wait etc...) but if you want to do it manually try "logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf" assuming that's where the config file is. the f will force the logs to be rotated, if you drop the -f it will only rotate them if necessary.. which is what the cron job would do.
