You are working as a system administrator in your company. One of the software engineering teams were complaining to you about the storage on the development servers are critically low. This has been an issue happening repeatedly. A previous team member in their team used to take care of this manually by freeing up the space. During your investigation, you found out that there are lots of logs being written by one of the applications. You discussed the reason behind having such logs and if they are necessary or not. The software engineering team investigated the logs and found out that such logs are important to be capture while developing their applications. As a proactive system administrator, you held multiple brainstorming sessions with the engineering team to find a solution for such an issue. The most appealing solution out of the discussions was to delete the old logs. You gathered all the requirements below that need to be implemented. Requirements 1- Create a log file clean up automation 2- The script will be reading a csv (comma separated value) file and the number of days to go back to delete a file if it was created before then 3- The script will print out on the screen the files that were deleted as it is running 4- Some of the files and folders must not be deleted in the logs folder 5- The software engineering team will need to be handed over that script and they will be running it whenever they want You are working as a system administrator in your company.
