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 ??

CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR(3)					     curl_easy_setopt options					      CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR - file name to store cookies to SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, char *filename); DESCRIPTION
Pass a filename as char *, zero terminated. This will make libcurl write all internally known cookies to the specified file when curl_easy_cleanup(3) is called. If no cookies are known, no file will be created. Specify "-" as filename to instead have the cookies writ- ten to stdout. Using this option also enables cookies for this session, so if you for example follow a location it will make matching cook- ies get sent accordingly. Note that libcurl doesn't read any cookies from the cookie jar. If you want to read cookies from a file, use CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE(3). If the cookie jar file can't be created or written to (when the curl_easy_cleanup(3) is called), libcurl will not and cannot report an error for this. Using CURLOPT_VERBOSE(3) or CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3) will get a warning to display, but that is the only visible feedback you get about this possibly lethal situation. Since 7.43.0 cookies that were imported in the Set-Cookie format without a domain name are not exported by this option. The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option. DEFAULT
NULL PROTOCOLS
