What makes you say this? Have you tried to edit the script as suggested?

I agree. As written, the script or a modified version will handle any log
file that is closed when the script runs.
There's a small window of time when the script will fail bacause because
weasel is appending weasel.$$$ to weasel.log. A bit of error checking and
a retry should handle this.
Currently, the script is not capable of moving apache logs which are kept
open.
This requires a script that knows how to shut down and restart apache so
that the move can succeed.

I suspect Massimo wants to run the script for multiple .msg files. This
will require simple modifications to the script so that the script does a
SysFileTree collect the names of the files to rename and wraps the rename
and move logic in a do loop.
