Buddy,

The code seems to be correct. But it needs certain modifications at some places. Please find below the corrected code:

year=`date '+%Y'`
month=`date '+%m'`
day=`date '+%d'`
day=`expr $day - 1`

case $month in
1 | 3 | 5 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 12);;
if [ $day = 0 ]; then
day=32
day1=`expr $day-1`
fi

4 | 6 | 11);;
if [ $day = 0 ]; then
day=31
day1=`expr $day-1`
fi

2);;
if [ `expr $month % 4` -eq 0]; then
if[ $day = 0 ]; then
day = 30
day1 =`expr $day-1`
fi
else
if[ $day = 0 ]; then
day = 29
day1 =`expr $day-1`
fi
fi

*) echo error: too many arguments 1>&2 ;;
esac

DATE=$year$month$day1
mv $HOME/*$DATE*log $HOME/archive
cd $HOME/archive
gzip *


Probably this would work. Just check out the differences with your code. Revert back in case of any issue.Smilie
