Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How to delete files which are 7 days old Post 2235 by kornshellmaven on Monday 30th of April 2001 08:32:25 PM

BEFORE I issue an "rm" command inside a find -exec, I always test it extensively to be sure it's working properly.

There are a few variations:

find /path/to/dir -mtime +7 -type f -exec ls -l {} \;
This will give a long listing of the files which satisfy the find criteria. i.e. the ones to be deleted.

You can also try:

find /path/to/dir -mtime +7 -type f -print

If you use "." in place of /path/to/dir - ALL directories below your starting point will be searched.

Typical:
cd /dir/to/purge
find . -mtime +7 -type f -exec ls -l {} \;

Good luck

This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. This option is also used for the exec prefix if the --exec-prefix option is not specified. --version Print the currently installed version of the library on the standard output. EXAMPLES
