Apache shutdown every Sunday

Most Sundays, one or more of our production servers stop serving webpages and when we investigate, apache is stopped. We restart apache and everything is fine until next week. We suspect the log rotation is the culprit. I've included a section of the log rotation page and the post rotation commands are interesting. Some are simple:

/var/log/virtualmin/bbexcavatinginc.com_error_log Weekly /usr/sbin/apache2ctl graceful

and others more complicated:

/var/log/virtualmin/earlywintersoutfitting.com_access_log

/var/log/virtualmin/earlywintersoutfitting.com_error_log Weekly if [ -f /var/run/apache2.pid ]; then /etc/init.d/apache2 restart > /dev/null fi I'm wondering if our issue can be with the restart command in these more complicated postrotate commands and also if that /dev/null/fi , and apparently cut off command is not part of the problem.

Appreciate any help you can give here. Thanks, Jeff

We have around 130 servers on this box Here is part of the file:
