Do you know why doesn't it work with the command FIND ?
Code:
find . -type f -iname "$log_name" 2> /dev/null

Of course I know why. And I think you do, too.
Note that the command you used with ll wasl
Code:
ll $log_name

(with no quotes). So ls was given two operands: server.log and server.log.2013-07-29.[0-9][0-9][0-9].

With find, you added the quotes because a -iname primary takes a single pattern argument; not two. But, by putting quotes around the two patterns, you created a single pattern that will only match filenames that start with server.log server.log.2013-07-29. and end with three decimal digits (and you don't have any files in this directory with names starting with server.log followed by a space).

For this application you need a different approach:
Code:
log_name1="server.log"
log_name2="$log_name1.$$AAAA_MM_JJ.[0-9][0-9][0-9]"
find . -type f \( -iname "$log_name1" -o -iname "$log_name2" \) 2> /dev/null

NAME
nislog - display the contents of the NIS+ transaction log SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/nislog [-h num | -t num] [-v] [directory...] DESCRIPTION
nislog displays the contents of the NIS+ server transaction log on the standard output. This command can be used to track changes in the namespace. The /var/nis/trans.log file contains the transaction log maintained by the NIS+ server. When updates occur, they are logged to this file and then propagated to replicas as log transactions. When the log is checkpointed, updates that have been propagated to the replicas are removed. The nislog command can only be run on an NIS+ server by superuser. It displays the log entries for that server only. If directory is not specified, the entire log is searched. Otherwise, only those logs entries that correspond to the specified directories are displayed. OPTIONS
-h num Display num transactions from the ``head'' of the log. If the numeric parameter is 0, only the log header is displayed. -t num Display num transactions from the ``tail'' of the log. If the numeric parameter is 0, only the log header is displayed. -v Verbose mode. FILES
