[Sheflug] shell script challenge

[Simon Brown <simon [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

A quick and simple challenge for all the shell scripting gurus out there.
Using any of the shells available for Debian, I would like to acheieve the 
following to archive my mailing lists. All of my mailing list mail goes 
into a directory called lists with the file being the list name, so this 
list is  lists/shef-lug [at] list.sheflug.org.uk I'll be running the script once 
a month and I'd like it to move the files into a directory called "last 
month" The files from the month before that are already there should then 
be moved into a directory called archive, gzipped and then put into a sub 
directory according to month year eg  archive/2003/January/shef-lug [at] list.
sheflug.org.uk.gz I'll be running it with cron. I've tried it before but 
only failed miserably. Any hints?

Simon
