Okay, is there any reason this is a bad idea?

[root] /var/cosign# cat /etc/cron.hourly/cosign
#!/bin/bash
dirs=( /var/cosign/filter /var/cosign/daemon /var/cosign/tickets )
for d in ${dirs[@]}; do
         [ -d $d ] && /usr/bin/find $d -type f -mtime +0 | 
/usr/bin/xargs /bin/rm -f
done
exit 0

I have other related stuff in /var/cosign and your script (and the one 
in scripts) toasts everything old in subdirectories.

I want to delete all three of those old files, right, tickets, daemon, 
and filter (on machines running both the daemon and a service)?

Thanks,
Chris
