I don't use this script and even don't have hpt.sta binary log to see how it
works. So I can only say you may use logrotate to trim the hpt.sta to the
necessary time period.

I had a look in the script and here is a quick solution. Please take into
account I could not test it. So maybe it does not work. You should replace
"areatag1", "areatag2", "areatag3" by the list of areatags you want to exclude.
