I got it to work, thank you all for your suggestions. -Dan -----Original Message----- From: Michael Weber [mailto:mweber@alliednational.com] Sent: November 26, 2002 12:11 PM To: psyche-list@redhat.com Subject: Re: Shell Scripting Question. find /path -ctime +2 -ok rm {} \; This will find all files starting with /path that have been changed more than 2 days ago and will prompt you for deleting them one by one. Get rid of the -ok if you KNOW it will delete only the files you want deleted. Change -ctime to -atime to find by access time rather than modification time. -Michael >>> Dan@omnexcontrols.com 11/26/02 01:57PM >>> I have a simple shell script that runs from cron and makes a backup of some filed to another PC via NFS. I want to have it automatically delete old backups form the NFS server. How would I do that, is there a delete files older then N days command? -Dan -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
