Below script will make a copy of the existing log file with the then timestamp details.
I am looking to create a copy of the existing log file for every 60 minutes and when the file limit reaches to 5, the 6th copy should overwrite the first backedup file which means all the time it should maintain the 5 copies of the original log file.
Can you please help me with the rest of the script requirement. Let me know if my requirement is not clear.
------------------------
Note: I understand the file can be copied by scheduling using CRONTAB but this is not helpful in this scenario.
