Here is a single command that will blow files older than 48 hours away from given directory. You can put as many of these in a single sh script as you want, then put it in your crontab: # find /home/me/mydirectory -mtime +48h -type f | xargs rm Your crontab entry might look like this: 20 22 * * * /home/steve/scripts/rmmail.pl Which would run the script at 10:20 PM, every day.
