Proof of my inadequecy follows...
 
I'm running Samba, 2.2.4, and I'm using the recycle bin for a few of the shares.
 
When files are moved into the recycle bin, they are date stamped with the time they are moved (deleted).
 
What I want to do is set up a cron job to run every nite so that files older than a week are deleted from the recycle bin.
 
But I'm not good enough with scripting to figure it out.
 
What happens is that at the root of the share, a directory named .recycle is created.
 
Requests to delete a file are processed as a move, with the deleted file moved into .recycle, including the full path to the file.
 
 
So I need to list the directory, recursively.
Pull out the full path name of any files older than 7 days.
then feed the output into a remove request.
 
There HAS to be an easy way to accomplish this.  There just HAS to be.  But I don't know it.
 
Any thoughts or advice?
 
Thanks in advance.
Kev.
