from the find man page, under actions, it is stated that a command can
be executed with "-exec command" followed by the string `{}' which
expands to the files found with the find command.
could this same functionality be achived if i use:
rm `find /home/mario/.ask/queue -ctime +10`
i want to delete all files in my ~/.ask/queue folder which if older
than 10 days are most likely to be spam.
to delete files older than 10 days ? this works on the command prompt,
but i want to add this to be run by cron. i've just made my 2nd
/var/spool/cron/mario entry. the first was a touch command just to be
sure that i wasn't screwing up the crontab syntax. the 2nd is the "rm"
line that i've indicated above.
would this work in my crontab or do i need to add something like:
30 10 * * * find /home/mario/.ask/queue -exec rm `{}';\
Thank You,
Regards,
mario
