Create an "excludesfile" to specify to <zip> that contains that latest 10
files. How you do that is up to you, depending on how portable you need it
to be. Eg, if your logs are on a Unix box, you could do something as
simple as <exec> a 'sh' that runs (in the log-file directory):
ls -lt | grep -v -e "^d" -e "^total" | head | awk '{print $NF;}' > ex.logs
If you need more portability, and you know Java, you could write a task to
do it (should be pretty straightforward to do). Or write a perl script,
etc.
