Check size and rotate log script.
Hi

Can you suggest some perl script. My OS is HP-UX 11.11 I want to it into a cron job.

Every night it will backup the file with that day's date and open a dummy file.

Thanks
Ash

no need for a perl script if that's all you want to do ... you can do this in ksh or bash very quickly ... see "man mv", "man cp" and "man touch"

to check size --- "ls -l /dir/file"
to rotate log --- "mv /dir/file /dir/file1" or "mv /dir/file /dir1/file" or "mv /dir/file /dir1/file1"
