ENVIROMENT
Linux: Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow)
iPlanet: iPlanet-WebServer-Enterprise/6.0SP1
Log Path: /usr/iplanet/servers/https-company/logs

I have iPlanet log rotation enabled rotating files on a daily basis.

The rotated logs are NOT compressed & are taking up too much space.

I need a script that will run daily that will do 3 things:

1. Check the folder for uncompressed log files, compress them into a ZIP file
2. Delete the uncompressed log files after they are compressed
3. Check the folder & delete the ZIP log files that are OLDER than 12 months.
