off the top of my head, can't you first check for a ctime older than 30
days..and then of those, to check whether it was read,
check that the atime is newer than the ctime?
ctime being creation time
atime being last access time
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <dirent.h>
#define MAILSPOOL "/var/spool/mail"
#define DAYS_OLD 30
int main(void) {
char filename[256];
time_t tm;
struct stat fileinfo;
struct dirent *dp;
DIR *dirp;
dirp=opendir(MAILSPOOL);
if (dirp == NULL) {
printf("Can't open MAILSPOOL!\n");
exit(0);
}
while ((dp = readdir(dirp)) != NULL) {
if (dp->d_name[0]=='.') continue;
snprintf(filename,256,"%s/%s",MAILSPOOL,dp->d_name);
if (stat(filename,&fileinfo) == -1) continue;
if (!S_ISREG(fileinfo.st_mode)) continue;
time(&tm);
if ( ((tm-(86400*DAYS_OLD)) >= fileinfo.st_ctime) &&
(fileinfo.st_atime > fileinfo.st_ctime)) {
unlink(filename);
}
} /* while */
closedir(dirp);
return 1;
}
