There is already this wheel in Solaris called logadm - it allows
pre/post log roll scripts.  Having yet another cron job that is just
there to watch a directory and move the logs is rather inelegant in
itself - nevermind the race condition if the log is still in the
process of being rolled when it is moved/compressed.  You don't have
to run the scripts as root - you can always su to the correct user
before running the roll script (if that is really necessary).
