find ./ -mtime 5 -type f | xargs rm This will remove files last modified 5*24 hours ago from the current and subsequent directories.
-----Original Message----- I am wondering what string of commands are necessary to delete all files in a directory that were created more than 5 days previously. I know it's gonna be a compound command and/or script but I'm not sure what exectly to code. Anyone have anything in their bag of tricks I could adapt? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
