Bash script to copy apache log files to client directory

Our Apache log files are written to a location on the server that we as clients have no access. Don't ask.

Every month, I have to e-mail the administrator to have him manually copy our Apache log files to a directory in our file space. You can probably guess how efficient it is to do things this way. I'm hoping to come up with a bash script the admin will run as a cron job on the second day of each month to transfer the gzipped files automatically.

He tried using this script, but it ignores the first nine days of the month, and sometimes the last day, too:

Code:
#!/usr/local/bin/bash

OFFSET=1;
eval `date "+day=%d; month=%m; year=%Y"`
# Subtract offset from day, if it goes below one use 'cal'
# to determine the number of days in the previous month.
day=`expr $day - $OFFSET`
if [ $day -le 0 ] ;then
month=`expr $month - 1`
if [ $month -eq 0 ] ;then
year=`expr $year - 1`
month=12
fi
set `cal $month $year`
xday=${$#}
day=`expr $xday + $day`
fi
# echo $year-$month-$day
/bin/cp /usr/home/www_logs/client.$year$month$day.gz /usr/www/users/client/logs/client.com.$year$month$day.gz

My bash scripting experience doesn't reach far enough to see why this doesn't work, although I'm a little surprised it works at all.

I'd appreciate any thoughts on how to fix it, or a suggestion of an alternate script that actually works to begin with. Smilie

Thanks in advance.
