Jeremy,
At quick glance, I'd say qualify all commands, ie. use a fully qualified
path for all the commands in your script:
mv /var/log/httpd/access_log /users/admin/logs/ -- /bin/mv or /usr/bin/mv
apachectl restart -- <path_to_apache>/bin/apachectl restart
Also, the script is running so this doesn't seem to be a problem, however
you may run into problems later with the 'space' in the first line, so:
# /bin/sh -- should really look like #!/bin/sh
Hope this helps--
