you need to show us a sample ( or a dummy version) of the control file.

Plus -

Code:
# this line is wrong in that it looks at the name of the control file
# not the name of the file to clean up 
find ${LOG_DIR} -name "${loglist}" -mtime +60 -exec rm -f {} \;
# it should be
find ${LOG_DIR} -name "${clean}" -mtime +60 -exec rm -f {} \;

       -R, --raw

       -f, --file
	      gets the context from the specified file FILE

       -L, --link
	      gets the context from the specified file FILE (doesn't follow symlinks)

       --pid-exec
	      gets the exec context from the specified process PID

       --pid-fs
	      gets the fscreate context from the specified process PID

       --current, --self
	      gets the context from the current process

       --current-exec, --self-exec
	      gets the exec context from the current process

       --current-fs, --self-fs
	      gets the fscreate context from the current process

       --parent
	      gets the context from the parent of the current process

       --parent-exec
	      gets the exec context from the parent of the current process

       --parent-fs
	      gets the fscreate context from the parent of the current process

       Additional  argument  CONTEXT may be provided and will be used if no options have been specified to make secon get its context from another
       source.	If that argument is - then the context will be read from stdin.
       If there is no argument, secon will try reading a context from stdin, if that is not a tty, otherwise secon will act as though  --self  had
       been passed.

       If none of --user, --role, --type, --level or --mls-range is passed.  Then all of them will be output.
