Purge JBOSS log files

I am using centOS server with two instances of JBOSS running in it.
So i need a shell script to delete log files older than x days in each instance.
for example:
ps -ef | grep jboss

i get two instances like say
/home/mypro/jboss-as-7.1.1/standalone/...
/home/newpro/SAAS-jboss-as-7.1.1/standalone/...

***And shell script should also delete log files automatically when a new instance is created.

By default logs are saved in
/home/mypro/jboss-as-7.1.1/standalone/logs/
/home/newpro/SAAS-jboss-as-7.1.1/standalone/logs/

So I guess the pseudo-code would look something like this?

Code:

locate running jboss instances

for var in each standalone/logs subdirectory, do:

  for log in each log older than x days, do:

    delete log

  done

done

@ser olmy: yeah algorithm is close enough. but how to "locate running jboss instances".?

You could use 'ps -ef|grep ..' or pgrep .. but, if you have ctrl over the install or just knowledge of it, you could skip straight to the logfile dir(s).
