As Steve already said, here is an example of script (lightly better) : You can work only with files not on sub directories. find /somedir \( -type f -a -mtime +730 \) -exec mv -f {} /anydir \; Patrick - rhce Jianping Zhu <jzhu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: S redhat 9.0 I have a huge direcory (more than 30 GB) I want to take all the files and sub-dirctries which have not been modified or used for more than two year out of the diretory and achive it then delete them them from the original direcoty.
