NOTES from author:

Just edit the file, so that it rotates the correct files.  I'm using the
"individual logging" method with listproc 8.2.06 and I have currently
adapted the cycle-mbox script to run under 2 different names, one which
cycles the mboxes weekly, adn one which cycles the .rep* files monthly.

Here is my .rep* file version:

----------BEGIN SCRIPT----------

#!/bin/sh
#
# Shell script which cycles your $LPDIR/lists/LIST-ALIAS/mbox files
# It retains a five unit (a unit can be a day, week, month ...
# It should be run out of the listprocessor's account (server) cron entry.
# I recommend once per week...

# File permissions for the new $file was changed from 600 to 640 
# -- Davidr 7-20-97

# 
# rotate /path/file 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
#

# Define LPDIR for running from cron - Davidr 10-25-97
LPDIR="/var/listproc"

rotate() {
        file="$1"; shift
        rm -f "$file.$1"
        for i in "$@"; do
                [ "$i" = "0" ] && j="" || j=".`expr $i - 1`"
                [ -f "$file$j" ] && mv -f "$file$j" "$file.$i"
        done
        cp /dev/null "$file"; chmod 640 "$file"
}

# Run this out of crontab once a MONTH.  
# These files are impt to have around to do diagnositcs and see list status,
# but keeping around a year of these files is unnecessary.
# Future versions of listproc may rotate these files appropriately
# For the time being, they are taking up too much space on the system
# so I'm going to start rotating now.  --Davidr 7-26-98

# Find and cycle the list specific .report archive files  ...

for INFILE in `find $LPDIR/lists -name .rep.list.acc  -print`
   do
        rotate $INFILE 3 2 1 0
   done
