Hi I know how to delete the files the files which are morethan 60 days old. But i have to satisfy below conditions. pls help me to get correct script to automate this.

I have below files for each day on monthly basis. So i have these files for last 3 years.

vtm_data_12month_20140301.txt vtm_data_12month_20140301.control vtm_mtd_20130622.txt vtm_mtd_20130622.control vtm_ytd_20131031.txt vtm_ytd_20131031.control

I'd like to write a script find the all files which are more than 60 days old and delete them all but except last month file. suppose for january i want to keep the last file(latest)vtm_data_12month_20140131.txt and delete all 30 files. Issue here is there is chance that i might have files received for january 30th so in that case i should not delete the latest file but i have to delete the rest..

please advice me how can we achieve this via shell script. your response is highly appreciated.
