as of my experience i use FreeBSD as my syslog
archieves since on FreeBSD has this capability

taken from man newsyslog
$D0     rotate every night at midnight

taken from newsyslog.conf
# logfilename          [owner:group]    mode count
size when [ZJB] [/pid_file] [sig_num]

so in order to archieve it at 12:00 midnight i just
specify $D0 on 'when'

with OpenBSD - i have a problem since it's based on 24
hour basis - i need to create newsyslog -F first :)
