Script to clean nmon logs on AIX

I use NMON (Nigels Monitoring) in AIX. It creates a daily nmon log with the naming conventions of:
hostname_YYMMDD_0000.nmon
or
myserver_080902_0000.nmon

What I am interested in doing is creating a script that is executed on the first of each month to clean up last months *nmon files. . .what I mean by clean up is that it would create a directory in the format of yyyymm and move all of last months files in that newly created directory.

The problem is that each hostname is of different lengths (since I would be using this on different hosts). . .so it's difficult to use the "cut" command because the length of characters will differ from box to box.

I would appreciate any assistance you can lend.

outta.

NAME
systemd-tmpfiles, systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service, systemd-tmpfiles-setup-dev.service, systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service, systemd-tmpfiles- clean.timer - Creates, deletes and cleans up volatile and temporary files and directories SYNOPSIS
systemd-tmpfiles [OPTIONS...] [CONFIGFILE...] systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service systemd-tmpfiles-setup-dev.service systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer DESCRIPTION
systemd-tmpfiles creates, deletes, and cleans up volatile and temporary files and directories, based on the configuration file format and location specified in tmpfiles.d(5). If invoked with no arguments, it applies all directives from all configuration files. If one or more filenames are passed on the command line, only the directives in these files are applied. If only the basename of a configuration file is specified, all configuration directories as specified in tmpfiles.d(5) are searched for a matching file. OPTIONS
The following options are understood: --create If this option is passed, all files and directories marked with f, F, w, d, D, p, L, c, b, m in the configuration files are created or written to. Files and directories marked with z, Z, m have their ownership, access mode and security labels set. --clean If this option is passed, all files and directories with an age parameter configured will be cleaned up. --remove If this option is passed, all files and directories marked with r, R in the configuration files are removed. --boot Also execute lines with an exclamation mark. --prefix=PATH Only apply rules that apply to paths with the specified prefix. This option can be specified multiple times. --exclude-prefix=PATH Ignore rules that apply to paths with the specified prefix. This option can be specified multiple times. --help Prints a short help text and exits. It is possible to combine --create, --clean, and --remove in one invocation. For example, during boot the following command line is executed to ensure that all temporary and volatile directories are removed and created according to the configuration file: systemd-tmpfiles --remove --create EXIT STATUS
On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise. SEE ALSO
