Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting [Solved] Issue with deleting files through find Post 302831103 by Gangadhar Reddy on Wednesday 10th of July 2013 09:46:12 AM
Old 07-10-2013
I'm new to unix. I would like to ignore the error. Probably that's better as in other environments there will be other subdirectories.

So u mean to say, I've to do this way. I hope it will ignore any permission denied error and proceed ahead. Also this is running through Autosys job so I hope the job will turn successful.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
cd /orcl/bir/eod_badfiles
find ./ -type f -name "*.csv" -mtime +6 -exec rm -f {} \; 2> /dev/null
find ./ -type f -name "*.bad" -mtime +6 -exec rm -f {} \; 2> /dev/null
cd /orcl/bir
find ./ -type f -name "*.log" -mtime +6 -exec rm -f {} \; 2> /dev/null

if you consider it as warning messages

redirect the find output to 2> /dev/null
This is not working. It is giving error.
Code:
find: paths must precede expression
Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [path...] [expression]

PAPS(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   PAPS(1)

NAME

       paps - UTF-8 to PostScript converter using Pango

SYNOPSIS

       paps [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

       paps reads a UTF-8 encoded file and generates a PostScript language rendering of the file. The rendering is done by creating outline curves
       through the pango ft2 backend.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with  two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary  of  options	is
       included below.

       --landscape
	      Landscape output. Default is portrait.

       --columns=cl
	      Number of columns output. Default is 1.

       --font=desc
	      Set the font description. Default is Monospace 12.

       --rtl  Do rtl layout.

       --paper ps
	      Choose paper size. Known paper sizes are legal, letter, a4. Default is A4.

       --bottom-margin=bm
	      Set bottom margin in postscript points (1/72 inch). Default is 36.

       --top-margin=tm
	      Set top margin. Default is 36.

       --left-margin=lm
	      Set left margin. Default is 36.

       --right-margin=rm
	      Set right margin. Default is 36.

       --help Show summary of options.

       --header
	      Draw page header for each page.

       --markup
	      Interpret the text as pango markup.

       --encoding=ENCODING
	      Assume the documentation encoding is ENCODING.

       --lpi  Set the lines per inch. This determines the line spacing.

       --cpi  Set the characters per inch. This is an alternative method of specifying the font size.

       --stretch-chars
	      Indicates  that  characters  should be stretched in the y-direction to fill up their vertical space. This is similar to the texttops
	      behaviour.
