I have a remote Samba Server where Windows machines place backup files once a day. The format is backup_2013-05-03_13.45.44_.zip Before the Windows client places the file it removes the file from the day before. In turn I do a backup of the backup files once every week(Friday) to another directory. This directory will eventually fill up and I need to make a check and remove the oldest file maybe once a week before the new file is copied, or put in other words I never want more than 4 files to be in this directory. My scripting skills are not at the level where I can figure this out, so I'll appreciate suggestions on how to solve this in the correct way. Thanks :-) /Leslie
