Hi,
I need to remove files that are in archive directory and which are old. I can make use of find command to search for files which are older by number of days.
But the problem is there are sub directories in directory 'archive' like 'sub1' 'sub2' 'sub3'.
Now all files which are in 'archive/sub1' should be deleted if they are old by 30 days.
All files which are in 'archive/sub2' should be deleted if they are old by 90 days.
Now all files which are in 'archive/sub3' should be deleted if they are old by 120 days.
If the files are in 'archive/' then they should be deleted if they are older by 365 days.
I want to create a properties file like
Code:
#archive policy
# foldername=<period-in-days>
archive/sub1=30
archive/sub2=90
archive/sub3=120
default = 365
and I want to write a shell script that reads location from above file to know the period of days.
Can any one give me a push! :-)
