I have a directory /homes/zak in which I have a number of directories which are created on a daily basis
thus:
Code:
02-MAY-10
03-MAY-10
04-MAY-10
05-MAY-10
I want to script the clean up of these directories, so I only keep two days worth,
so for example anything over 2 days would get deleted...i.e. 02-MAY,03-MAY
I've tried using
Code:
find . -type d -mtime +1
but for some reason also includes files for 05-MAY...
any pointers greatly appreciated ...
Many thanks,

Something awful is happening here. It appears that your find command is erroring on files which are larger than 2Gb (2147483648 bytes). I have never seen this on a system which allows files larger than 2Gb, only where an old Operating System is presented with large files (>2Gb) created on a new Operating System.
