Question Delete Older files more than 24 hours

or, in this case, even just:

Code:
rm /usr/temp/**/cookies.html(mh+24)

2. You can execute it first with ls -l,
just to be sure that it generates the files you need to remove:

Code:
ls -l /usr/temp/**/cookies.html(mh+24)

If there are many files and you get the "argument list too long" error,
use this:

Code:
 autoload zargs ; zargs /usr/temp/**/cookies.html(mh+24) -- rm

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Since in future, we will be migrating to Unix Box, so then in that case, this command will work perfectly fine...right?

find /usr/temp/cookies.html -type f -cmin +1440 -exec rm -f {} \;

The above command will delete all the files (cookies.html) which are older than 24 hours (24*60mins = 1440) ...right ??
