hi Ram Kumar_BE,

The
Code:
--date

is the option used in date command. you can substitute
Code:
date +%Y-%m-%d --date "1 day ago"

with
Code:
date +%Y-%m-%d --date "1 year ago"

or 1 month ago or 2 months based on your requirement.
it can be found in the manual for date.

And for file location, you can always mention the absolute or relative path before the filename or logfile name
