Hi,

I tried your script and I didn't seem to have done anything. I copy and paste your script and run it as

Code:

./x.ksh x.log 10

and nothing happens.

I do need some help with re-generating/re-naming the files with however x.log.[n] file there is before I run the log rotation.

What am trying to do is kinda like checking a set of consecutive numbers and if there is a number sequence re-do the number sequence.

For example, if am suppose to have a series of number from 1 to 10 like 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10 and suddenly I have it a number missing that it now becomes 1.2.5.7.9.10, then I need to re-generate the number to 1.2.3.4.5.6.

It's kinda like working on a set of array where some array numbers has been pop'ed hence you need to push up some of the members. Not sure if am explaining it correctly.
