Havent done nested ifs in a while. I'm reading someones code If I'm reading this correctly. It checks for the logfile, and if it exists it checks for the old logfile and if that exists, it removes the old log file. Else it moves the logfile to the logfile.old. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, thanks.
not exactly - it will 'move the logfile to the logfile.old' regardLESS whether the 'old logfile' exists or not - there is no 'ELSE' in the inner 'if'.
