How about something like ...

find /your_dir_name_here -name '*.log' -mtime +4 -exec \ rm {} \;

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?
