Hi,
I use a slightly different approach. Append the day to the log files, this will overwrite the previous weeks file, always leaving you a weeks worth of logs (Korn shell/Solaris). The script is run by crontab just before midnight.

#!/bin/ksh
TODAY=$(date)
THIS_DAY=$(date +%a)
DIR=/u01/app/oracle

mv -f $DIR/admin/ADM/bdump/alert_ADM.log
$DIR/admin/ADM/bdump/alert_ADM.log_$THIS_DAY
mv -f $DIR/product/8.0.6/network/log/dbsnmpc.log
