Here's what I do and it gives me something like:

access_log.1013126400 for today, which I have no idea how
that translates.

CustomLog "|rotatelogs /home/www/pub/logs/access_log 86400"
common

If anyone knows how to make it come out as zliu1 suggests,
I'd like to know that, better yet I would like to get it
monthly and not daily.

I use cron to run a perl script that processes the log files for all of
my vhosts. The script is based upon the apache doc:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/logs.html#rotation
I have found that if you use a statistical viewer like webalizer (in my
case), that the apache docs on log rotation works much better than using
the piped logs.

In newer version of Apache, the rotatelogs command can take a new parameter
with is the offset of your Time Zone to GMT time zone.

TransferLog "|/opt/apache/bin/rotatelogs
/opt/apache/logs/httpd_access_log.%y%m%d%H 3600 -420"

another way is cronolog

you want logrotate(8), which is included with most linux distros and is
probably ported to other unices as well.
