So don't forget that practical experience can be far more important, and so I would stick to my company and get the most in tuition opportunities (even if its you paying and taken on you spare time...) putting in your CV you wrote interesting script that are in production at your current job has more effect than writing studied scripting at home...

exicyclog
EXICYCLOG(8) System Manager's Manual EXICYCLOG(8)
NAME
exicyclog - Cycle exim's logfiles
SYNOPSIS
eximcyclog
DESCRIPTION
The exicyclog script can be used to cycle (rotate) mainlog and rejectlog files. This is not necessary if only syslog is being used. Some
operating systems have their own standard mechanisms for log cycling, and these can be used instead of exicyclog if preferred.
Each time exicyclog is run the file names get 'shuffled down' by one. If the main log file name is mainlog (the default) then when exicy-
clog is run mainlog becomes mainlog.01, the previous mainlog.01 becomes mainlog.02 and so on, up to a limit which is set in the script, and
which defaults to 10. Reject logs are handled similarly.
If no mainlog file exists, the script does nothing. Files that 'drop off' the end are deleted. All files with numbers greater than 01 are
compressed, using a compression command which is configured by the COMPRESS_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile. It is usual to run "exicy-
clog" daily from a root "crontab" entry of the form
1 0 * * * su exim -c /usr/exim/bin/exicyclog
assuming you have used the name 'exim' for the Exim user. You can run exicyclog as root if you wish, but there is no need.
