File Archive Script
Hi There,

I want to create a script that will archive files out of a log folder into seperate folders below it, but I need it to keep the previous 2 days worth of information. Now I know I can easily get a script to put the files in there but I don't know how to only get files older than 2 days, my problem is that the file name doesn't have a date in it so i'll need to use the following date to decide which ones to archive
-rw-r--r-- 1 ugpea eupuk 1824 15 Feb 14:14 submit_rep_15141419_4042930.log
-rw-rw-r-- 1 eupuk eupuk 400483 15 Feb 14:14 med_main.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 4001576 15 Feb 14:15 jobwatch_eupuk.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 50384302 15 Feb 14:15 socketserver_eupuk.log
-rw-rw-r-- 1 eupuk eupuk 374478 15 Feb 14:15 provision_script.log

I think I can use an awk command but have never used it before, does anyone know what command I should use?

Thanks in advance.

nnstats

NNSTATS(1m)															       NNSTATS(1m)

NAME

       nnstats - display nnmaster collection and expire statistics

SYNOPSIS

       nnstats [ -lt ] [ -d month day ] [ -m month ] [ logfile ]...

DESCRIPTION

       nnstats	will  extract  the collection (C) and expiration (X) entries from the log file and calculate total and average number of articles,
       groups and elapsed time per day, per month, or for the duration of the whole log file.

       Normally only a summary for the specified period is printed.  If -l is specified, the statistics  for  each  day  in  the  period  is  also
       printed, and if -t is specified the summary is not printed.

       Normally the statistics is collected for all days in the log files (or the current log file if one is not specified).

       If  "-m	month" is specified, the statistics for that month is calculated.  The month is specified in normal date notation, i.e. a capital-
       ized three letter abbreviation like Jan, Feb, ...

       If "-d month day" is specified, the statistics for that date only is calculated and printed.

FILES

       ../Log	The log file

SEE ALSO

       nn(1), nnusage(1M), nnadmin(1M), nnmaster(8)

NOTES

       If nnmaster is run with options -LCX, nnstats will not work, because the necessary entries are not written to the log file.
