The following statement will delete all files older than 5 days:
find . -name 'files_you_want_to_delete*.log' -mtime +5 -exec rm {} \;
To test it, change the name of the file name and change the 'rm' to
'ls'.
It should just list the files older than 5 days. That way you know it
is working.

I want to store some files. I make a new copy every night. I want to
archive it back 4 days. So after 4 days, I want to delete the old copy.
How do I do this?
However, if i miss a nightly batch and have less than 4 copies, I do not
want to delete any?
