^^ ??You probably meant: if [ ! "$DIR" ] || [ ! "$DTIME" ] || [ "$DTIME" -lt 1 ] The quotes will ensure that it actually can check for missing parameters. And '<' is used for redirecting input, not comparing... PS: Have a look at tmpreaper - I suspect that most debian systems have that installed. It has a plethora of options and should be able to do what you want. Why write it yourself if somebody else has already? HTH -- Karl E.
