File rotator script
This is a script that I use to rotate some logs, the commented lines will tell you what it does exactly:
#!/bin/sh
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# FILE ROTATOR SCRIPT
#
# The purpose of this script is to rotate, compress and delete files
# - Files older than ARC_AGE are gzipped and rotated
# - Files bigger than SIZE_LIM are gzipped and rotated
# - Gzipped files older than DEL_AGE are deleted
#
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Vars
DATE=`date +%F"-"%H:%M`
FILEDIR="/storage/logs/"
DEL_AGE="30"
ARC_AGE="1"
SIZE_LIM="20M"

echo "-= Looking for old files =-"

ACTIVE=$?
# Delete inactive files, truncate if active

# Delete the file
rm "$FILE";
else
# Truncate file to 0
