Script to zip old logs
Hi!
Iam new to linux, appreciate your kind help.
I have a web server running and its generating lot of logs daily. Currently, Iam manually zipping last 2 days log files and moving them to a different folder called "old logs".
Iam keeping them there for 5 days for any reference and eventually deleting them. Appreciate, someone can help me with a small script to automate this routine job.
Thank you
Hugo
