Delete files older than 3 months.(read date from the name of the file)
Guys,
My log files stored in the date format format below(log_20080714072942):

TIMESTAMP=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`
LOG=/log/log_${TIMESTAMP}.log

I'm looking for a shell script which deletes all files which is older than 3 months from today.

Regards,
Bhagat
