Java Shell script to copy a log file if it exceeds 5000000 bytes
Hi,

on unix box, under /local/home/userid/logs folder, apps generated the following files

sw_warn.log
sw_error.log
eaijava.log

if there any application specific errors, the above file will keep growing.

if the file exceed 5000000 bytes, I would like to have a shell script which do the following

1) copy logs files from /local/home/userid/logs into /local/home/userid/logs/yyyy_mm_dd_timestamp.
2) Shell script should create a folder yyyy_mm_dd_timestamp.
3) Also, delete the files from /local/home/userid/logs
4) if deleting files are not recommended then delete the contents.

Thanks
