Yesterday I put this command in root's crontab: # remove all files in /tmp not modified in 7 days daily at 1:20 20 1 * * * find /tmp -mtime +7 -type f -exec rm -f { } ';'
It is not working as I expected since there are files in /tmp as old as last August. There are also old directories not modified for months. Should I put this in a shell script and use 'test' first? Would the old subdirectories removal be fixed by changing the rm option to -rf without adversely affecting the results?
