Is there a way to pipe this out to a file using cat or mailing
the contents. I tried but received no contents.

I ran a comparison with the other working raq4 by making a copy
of the 'working' script for apache from the logrotate.d directory
and running diff on the two copies, but nothing turned up.

Here is the script from the failing raq4:

#UW PICO(tm) 4.6                                   File:
/etc/logrotate.d/apache

/var/log/httpd/access {
    prerotate
        /usr/local/sbin/split_logs web < /var/log/httpd/access
    endscript
    missingok
    postrotate
        /usr/bin/killall -HUP httpd 2> /dev/null || true
    endscript
    daily
}
