I had globbing, so I would use opendir/readdir and either iterate
over the files checking for /^S\d{7,7}\.log$/ and saving them in an
array.
Then just sort the array and remove the last 10 with splice or
whatever. Now just unlink the array items either all at once
or in a for loop (which would allow individual error checking).
