this code finds .log files which are older than 30 days and deletes them but do not consider the contents of the files (time stamps) while deleting them but just the creation time of the file..

I didnt get what you needed exactly, do you need to check the time stamps of a log file (the last row especially) and check if its odler than 30 days? than if so delete it?
