Thanks John, but I meant more so is there a way to have it look at the total size of the recycle dir too? I.e. only delete stale files when it needs to to stay within a limit, and also even delete not-so-stale files if it needs to because there have been too many GB deleted lately to keep 30 days worth (or whatever) around?
The easiest way would be to do a for loop in bash that starts at say 90 days, does the "find/remove" command at the 90+ day mark, then checks the output of "du -cks /path/to/recycle/bin". Once you get below the target kilobytes, you break out of the loop. Otherwise you lower your target mtime value (by 1 or by 7), delete some more files, and check again.
So nothing in the recycle bin would be older then 90 days, and it would always stay below your target size.
