Hi folks,

I need to write a script which remove files with suffix *.dmp from a specific directory ,older than 30 days and not including recursive subdirectories.

I.e:
The following command remove recursive all *.dmp files older than 30 days:
I need to remove files older than 30 days but only under $ORACLE_BASE without its subdirectories.

How to do it?

Thanks in advance,
Nir

Hi,

Use -maxdepth 1 option for the find command.

Hi,

I didn't find such an option in "find" command..
Can you post an example?

Thanks in advance,

If your find doesn't have that option, an example will hardly help?

You can filter the output from find to exclude anything with at least two slashes in it, though:

You might want to try it with "xargs echo rm" for testing.

The number of slashes obviously depends on the number of slashes in $ORACLE_BASE -- two would be correct for the current directory. (ORACLE_BASE=.)

Or this might help you:

find command

Thanks guys!

Finally, I used "find . \( ! -name . -prune \)" and it works perfect!

Best regards,
Nir
