Public bug reported:
I'm presently running 16.04LTS. On that version atop's init script has
the log retention period hardcoded to 28 days.
It would be better if the log retention period was set using a variable
which could be modified in the /etc/default/atop file.
Here are two proposed patches that would resolve the issue:
