Hi,

Even I am very new to scripting however i tried this in my local network and its working.

Iam not sure whether it will work with your requirement but it will give you an idea.

One of our application writes logs to the system as shown below:

Code:
bash-2.03$ pwd
/var/log/Application
bash-2.03$
bash-2.03$ ls -lrt Application*
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other    34752530 Jan  8 23:59 Application.log.Thu
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other    5179052 Jan  9 23:59 Application.log.Fri
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other    8420980 Jan 10 23:59 Application.log.Sat
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other    2993389 Jan 11 23:59 Application.log.Sun
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other    13932907 Jan 12 23:59 Application.log.Mon
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other    15685534 Jan 13 23:59 Application.log.Tue
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other    360387803 Jan 14 23:59 Application.log.Wed
bash-2.03$

Now in order to zip these files or delete it i set the following script as cron job at every 00:00 hrs.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/sh
INSTALL_DIR=/var/log/Application
Curr_Dir=`pwd`

cd $INSTALL_DIR
i=`ls |grep "\.log.[a-zA-Z]\{3,3\}$ |wc -l` //here iam grepping any char and minimum of 3 char as Mon, Tue etc..

	if [ 0 -ne $i]
	then
		rm $INSTALL_DIR/*.log.???
		#gzip -f9 $INSTALL_DIR/*.log.???
	fi

Thanks
-imas
