I just figured out that if [ -e $logdir/$file1 ] is what's doing it.
The idea was to test for the existance of one or both files and run
commands accordingly. So it's trying to test the expansion of both
files.
+ '['
-e /home/wacky1/cumulativelog/access.log.2005-07-01.gz /home/wacky1/cumulativelog/access.log.2005-08-01.gz ']
gotta love that -x flag of bash. Anyway, how do I tell it to care only
if a .gz file exists and not expand all of $file1 in the statement?
Thanks Again!
