As of right now what happens is that it is moved at 6 AM on the first of
each month from cumulativeaccess.log to
cumulativeaccess.log.2005-08-01.gz with the appropriate date of course
and a touch creates a new cumulativeaccess.log. The newly created file
doesn't get populated until the next day after the host writes it's
access.log.0 and another script cat's that.

I use date when the file is created. And actually, I want it to deal with all
the files. That's the point and problem. It worked fine until 2 days ago
but now more than one file exists. I was expecting the file1="access.log.*.gz"
to give me output of all the gzipped per month files. It choked this month
because there's more than one. How do I get it to decompress/read them all?
The error is:
./createReports.sh: [: /home/wws1/cumulativelog/access.log.2005-08-01.gz: binary operator expected
I'll try your other suggestions to clean up the rest.
