Deleting old files

Hi,

I have a directory which contains files.This Directory keeps getting in new files from time to time.I want to maintain only 15 files in that directory at any time and the old files should be deleted.

Eg:

Directory 'c' @'a/b/c contains:
1_a
2_a
3_a...

I want to delete all the old files and maintain only 15 such files.Please note the title of the files is in this format "1_a"...

I know I have to use the command :
find /a/b/c -type f -name '*.a' -mtime +10 -exec rm {} \;

I just want toincorporate that 15 files limit in that directory.

Thanks.

NAME
cachefspack - pack files and file systems in the cache SYNOPSIS
cachefspack [-h] [-i | -p | -u] [-f packing-list] [-U cache-directory] [file...] DESCRIPTION
The cachefspack utility is used to set up and maintain files in the cache. This utility affords greater control over the cache, ensuring that the specified files are in the cache whenever possible. cachefspack does not pack files when the backfileystem type for the cachefs mount is NFSv4. This is because only pass-through support is available for cachefs with NFSv4. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -f packing-list Specify a file containing a list of files and directories to be packed. Options within subdirectories and files can also be specified. The format and rules governing packing-list are described on the packingrules(4) manual page. Directories are packed recursively. Symlinks that match a regular expression on a LIST command are followed. Sym- links encountered while recursively processing directories are not followed. -h Help. Print a brief summary of all the options. -i View information about the packed files. -p Pack the file or files specified by file. This is the default behavior. -u Unpack the file or files specified by file. -U cache-directory Unpack all files in the specified cache directory. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: file A path name of a file to be packed or unpacked. USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of cachefspack when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2 **31 bytes). EXAMPLES
Example 1: Packing a File in the Cache The following example packs the file projects in the cache: % cachefspack -p projects Example 2: Packint Files in the Cache The following example packs the files projects, updates, and master_plan in the cache: % cachefspack -p projects updates master_plan Example 3: Unpacking a File From the Cache The following example unpacks the file projects from the cache: % cachefspack -u projects Example 4: Unpacking Files From the Cache The following example unpacks the files projects, updates, and master_plan from the cache: % cachefspack -u projects updates master_plan Example 5: Unpacking All Files From in a Cache Directory The following example unpacks all files in the cache directory cache1: % cachefspack -U /cache/cache1 Example 6: Using a Packing List The following example illustrates the use of a packing list to specify files to be packed in the cache. The contents of lists.pkg are as follows: IGNORE SCCS BASE /src/junk LIST *.c LIST *.h The following command packs all files in the /src/junk directory which have .c and .h extensions, and do contain the string SCCS in the file's path name: % cachefspack -f lists.pkg EXIT STATUS
0 Successful completion. >0 An error occurred. ATTRIBUTES
