Hi ranchers,
I have a requirement like this: I want to tar a series log files that start from a certain time and end to a certain time. And my present approach is using "ls -lt" to display all files ordered by time and copy them one by one to another folder. After this be done, tar that folder. Is there any convenient way? Thanks.

If you don't mind writing a config file rather than a script, you could use the logrotate command in a cron job to do everything you mentioned.

Something like this:
find mylogs -name "*.log" -newerct '7 hours ago' -and -not -newerct '3 hours ago' | xargs tar cvf logarchive.tar
However, since these are logfiles, a logrotate operation would probably be more appropriate.
