Prompt
Design a comprehensive Bash script that automatically rotates, compresses, and archives log files across multiple directories. The script should handle files older than 30 days, compress them using gzip with maximum compression, implement a retention policy of keeping 5 generations of logs, and generate a detailed report of actions taken. Include error handling for permission issues and logging of the script's own execution.
