Csh script with Undefined variable error
hi there

I have this C shell script that was migrated from AIX to Linux, could someone please help me, I checked the syntax numerous times but I can't find out where the error is. The script is meant to find files older than 27 days and delete it

Code:
#!/usr/bin/csh
#

LOGFILE=/Mailbox/Control/bin/printers/log/`date +%d``hostname`prt.log

#
# Check if logfile exists
#
{
if [ \! -f $LOGFILE ]; then
    find `dirname $LOGFILE` -name '*'`hostname`prt.log -mtime +27 -exec rm {} \;
fi
} >/dev/null 2>/dev/null

Error after running script:
Code:
up1as00:/Mailbox/Control/bin/printers # ./sunprint.sh
LOGFILE=/Mailbox/Control/bin/printers/log/12up1as00prt.log: Command not found.
{: Command not found.
LOGFILE: Undefined variable.

I created a dummy file but the error persists

Code:
up1as00:/Mailbox/Control/bin/printers # ls -ld /Mailbox/Control/bin/printers/log/12up1as00prt.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 12 11:15 /Mailbox/Control/bin/printers/log/12up1as00prt.log

Am I missing something here? (in terms of syntaxing?)
