Hi,
1)Everything ending with *.log is a file
2) a_m?.log is an instance of "a" monthly file, similarly e_m?.log is instance of "e" monthly file b_?.log is instance of "b" daily file and so on..
3) Latest instance is determined by timestamp of file
4) Im keeping 10 latest of every type of file. 10 latest instances based on timestamp of a_m?.log, b_?.log,c_?.log and so on
