Recycle Folder Names

pranav610 · #1 (**permalink**) 04-21-04, 14:27

I have a cron job that runs evrery day to back up files. Script it runs creates a folder with system date ie. Cron runs today April 21, 2004 folder name will be "BackupFor04212004".

I need a bash script that will recycle these folder names so that at any given time, there are only 7 folders.

Thank You.
