I'd like to delete ALL files on a daily basis within a directory that are over a day old. Anyone know how I can automate this through Cron as I have 146 websites to administer.

I've tried...

30 02 * * * /home/myspace/tmp/webalizer -atime + 1\! -type d -exec rm -f {} \;

but all i get is an email telling me that it is a directory...


Subject: Cron <myspace@neptune> /home/myspace/tmp/webalizer -atime + 1\! -type d -exec rm -f {} \;

/bin/sh: line 1: /home/myspace/tmp/webalizer: is a directory

If that's exactly what you're putting in the cron file, you're forgetting the find command in front of the directory name.

30 02 * * * find /home/myspace/tmp/webalizer ...
