Hi,
I am facing a problem while running a cron to delete files older that X
days in a particular folder. Initially I had configured the cron as below;
*[oracle@TESTDBS daily_backup]$ crontab -l*
*10 3 * * * /home/oracle/backup.sh*
*@daily find /home/oracle/daily_backup/* -mtime +2 -exec rm {} \;*
But this deletes everything from the backup folder and I dont see any files
in it.
But when I run "* find /home/oracle/daily_backup/* -mtime +2 -exec rm {}
\;" *manually "nothing happens". I mean it doesn't delete anything.
What could be the issue here?? Even I tried below but no success;
*[oracle@TESTDBS daily_backup]$ ls -altr*
*-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 123801600 Apr 12 12:16 120412_full_dbexp.dmp*
*-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 116275 Apr 12 12:16 120412_expdp_full.log*
*drwx------ 12 oracle dba 4096 Apr 12 12:21 ..*
*drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Apr 12 12:21 .*

*[oracle@TESTDBS daily_backup]$*
*[oracle@TESTDBS daily_backup]$*
*[oracle@TESTDBS daily_backup]$ find /home/oracle/daily_backup/ -mtime +30
-delete*
*[oracle@TESTDBS daily_backup]$ ls*
