Try changing the code a little bit:

Code:
#! /bin/ksh

LOGDIR="/home/Administrator/LOGS/logmeoff"    # Logging directory, must be world-writable
RETDAYS="31"               # Number of days to retain old logfiles


ME="$(logname)"            # Username
SCRIPT="logmeoff"       # Script name

# FUNCTIONS
###########


Log () {
set -x

##Construct the log file path and name##
LOGFILE="$LOGDIR"/"$1"."$(date +%a%d%b%y)".logmeoff.log

##Check whether today's logfile exists and create if not##
[ -w "$LOGFILE" ] ||  { touch "$LOGFILE"; chmod 666 "$LOGFILE"; }

##Delete logmeoff log files older than $RETDAYS old##
find "$LOGDIR" -type f -name '*.logmeoff.log' -mtime +"$RETDAYS" -exec rm {} \;

##Write the log entry##
printf "%s\n" "$(date +%T)|$ME|$(who am i)" >> "$LOGFILE"

}

Log test
