Hello Thank you for finding time to reply to my question. I have created a cron that runs at 1800hrs and executes a shell script i have named badh.sh containg the syntax for doing a manual sql dump (mysqldump -uroot -p**** /) which saves in the folder dropbox in the home directory. This dropbox folder synchronises and uploads the new archives to the cloud. I want to automatically delete the old backup files older than five days thru a script which I'll add to the bash.sh script file.
