And if we need to add things like if it was last month of the year..
it would show as 12 and YYYY pointing to same year.

solution:

#!/bin/bash
#### Directory variable####
LOG_DIR=’/data/logs/local_backup/’
HOST_NAME=`hostname -s`
LOG_LOCATION=’data/logs/bidsys’
# YYYY=`date +%Y`
MM=`date +%m –date=’1 month ago’`
FULL_PATH=$LOG_DIR$LOG_LOCATION
echo “$FULL_PATH”
if [ “$MM” = “12” ]; then
echo “It was previous Year”
YYYY=`date +%Y –date=’1 year ago’`
echo “Now YYYY = $YYYY”
else
YYYY=`date +%Y`
fi
for file in $FULL_PATH;do
file=`ls -d $FULL_PATH/*`
for i in $file; do
FINAL_PATH=$i/
mkdir -p $FINAL_PATH$YYYY/$MM
mv $FINAL_PATH*-$YYYY-$MM $FINAL_PATH$YYYY/$MM

done
done

If you wish to backup old logs using olddir in logrotate it may create problem while giving separate partition for backup.

Logrotate and move to backup directory

Firstly i would suggest you to remove /var/log/messages from /etc/logrotate.d/syslog

vi /etc/logrotate.d/syslog

remove line /var/log/messages

vi /etc/logrotate.d/messages

Paste belwo given.

/var/log/messages
{
        daily
        rotate 10
        missingok
        postrotate
        /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
        /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/rsyslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
        /var/log/messagesrotate.sh || true
        endscript
}

::::::::::::::::::::: Script to run in Postrotate :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

#!/bin/bash
LogDate=$(date +"%s")
mv /var/log/messages.1 /data/logs/local_backup/var/log/messages/messages.$LogDate
gzip /data/logs/messages.$LogDate
exit
