Can someone suggest on this script :

let's say the logs files are available for Jan 07, Dec 06, Nov 06, Oct 06

the script should identify the latest months logs, i.e Jan 07

it should then delete anything older than 2 months, which will be logs for Nov 06 & Oct 06.

#!/usr/bin/env perl


die "Syntax: $0 directory" if (@ARGV != 1 || ! -d $ARGV[0]);
$TwoMonths = 60 * 60 * 24 * 60; # Seconds in two months (+/-)
$Dir = $ARGV[0];
die "Can't open directory $Dir - $!" if (!opendir (DIR, $Dir));
map ($Filelist{"$Dir/$_"} = (stat ("$Dir/$_"))[9] , grep {-f "$Dir/$_"} readdir(DIR));
closedir (DIR);
# Latest file's timestamp in seconds
$LTS=$Filelist{$tmpfile = (sort{$Filelist{$b} <=> $Filelist{$a}} keys (%Filelist))[0]};
@FilesToDelete = grep ($TwoMonths < ($LTS - $Filelist{$_}), keys (%Filelist));
print "\nlast file is $tmpfile, $Filelist{$tmpfile}\nFiles to delete:". join ("\n", @FilesToDelete) . "\n";
# You can now remove files
unlink @FilesToDelete;

Checking on this

Try out this dude..

ls -ltr | grep -v "date you wanna keep" | awk '{print $NF}' | xargs -i rm -rf {}

file - script.sh

#!/bin/sh

#!/bin/bash
Keepdate="/bin/ls -ult --full-time| sed 1d | head -1 | awk '{ print $6 }'"
/bin/ls -ltr | grep -v "$Keepdate" | awk '{print $NF}' | xargs -i rm -rf {}


The above script deleted Every thing:

bash-3.00$ ls -ult --full-time
total 8
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ss54066 user 164 2007-02-23 06:24:56.920724000 -0500 check.sh
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ss54066 user 72 2007-02-22 06:07:45.044181000 -0500 Command
-rw-r--r-- 1 ss54066 user 0 2007-02-12 00:00:00.000000000 -0500 touch
-rw-r--r-- 1 ss54066 user 7 2003-02-12 00:00:00.000000000 -0500 1.txt
bash-3.00$ ./script.sh
bash-3.00$ ls -ult --full-time
total 0

This should have deleted only 2003

Keepdate="/bin/ls -ult --full-time| sed 1d | head -1 | awk '{ print $6 }'"

modify that to like this..u need to use carets not double quotes. then echo keepdate also to get the actual variable value
Keepdate=`/bin/ls -ult --full-time| sed 1d | head -1 | awk '{ print $6 }'`

hmmm ... should that delete only 2003 ?
