Script for automatic deletion of trash file of mail server
Hi,
I have a mail server with limited space and operating system is sun solaris 8 (sparc). I do not have provisions to increase the space for home directory.
So i have to delete files from /home/username/mail/trash which are more than 10 days old automatically.
So my script should be like it finds all the user name of mail server from /var/mail directory and then delete their trash from /home/username/mail/trash.
Can someone help me to generate a script for this?
With Regards,
Crown
