That's actually a bad idea.

You risk loosing logdata for sites that have a lot of traffic (as the
logrotation program can delete logs after the split_logs program is run
but before the webalizer script is run).

Never rely on cron jobs runinng in the right order, unless you're
absolute sure of locking and side-effects.
