Hi,
I am trying to delete files that are more than 7 days old. When I
run it interactively it works, no problem, but it does not run
from a file stored in cron.daily. The rest of that daily file
runs properly. [The execute bit is on].

I don't see anything in the /var/log/messages.

---------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

find /mnt/iog -type f -name '*.tar.gz' -mtime +7 | xarg rm
---------------------------------------

Any idea what am I missing?
Just a shot in the dark: Cron is kinda partial to absolute paths. Change your 1-liner to:

/usr/bin/find /mnt/iog -type f -name '*.tar.gz' -mtime +7 | xargs rm

That, and the "xargs" that Garrick pointed out.


Good luck.
