#-- File : rotatealert.sh
#-- Usage: rotatealert.sh [offset]
#-- where offset is the number of days in the past you'd like to extract the alert log for
#-- The offset option proves useful when you’re just beginning to use this script. As the script
#-- stands, if run without supplying an offset, will extract the current day’s alert log as well
#-- as yesterday’s alert log. It might be suggested that a simple set of calls be put together
#-- in another shell script that calls the rotatealert.sh script. Something as the following to
#-- extract for the last month:
#--./rotatealert.sh 30
#--./rotatealert.sh 29
#--./rotatealert.sh 28
#--./rotatealert.sh 27
#--.etc.etc.etc.
#-- setup
#-- the program name will be used for various output temp files, sort of a unique identifier
PGM="rotatealert"
#-- currently I run this shell under the oracle user account so $HOME would be something like
#-- /home/oracle with an alert directory under that home directory. Also defined is a list
#-- directory (lst) that will contain output from this shell script as well as contain the
#-- individual alert log directories for individual days.
