korn shell script to keep history of same file
Hello,

How do I write a korn shell that will rename file with the current date. What I want to do is, I have a file that is re-written every day. But instead, I want to keep a 14 day history of the file. So I want to write a script that will rename the current file with a date attached to the end of the filename. Then have the script go through the history and delete the ones that are 14 days past the current date. Thank you.
