hth,

------------------------------------------------------------------------I am able to delete the files from the given path, where files are older than 24 hours.
But it is also going inside the directories of the path and deleting the files older than 24 hours.I want just the files to be deleted from that path, without going inside any directory of that path and deleting files from that directory too

find /tmp/test -type f -mtime +0 -exec rm {} \;

For example: if the test directory has one more directory "/test/test2" and files are there in the test2 directory, but if i issue the above command, it will go inside the test2 and delete files...

I dont want this command to go inside the directory and deleting files
Can you troubleshoot and pass the solution.

ipsec_config_delete(1M) 												   ipsec_config_delete(1M)

NAME
ipsec_config_delete - delete configuration records from the HP-UX IPSec configuration database and delete certificate files SYNOPSIS
object_name ip_addr object_name object_name object_name object_name DESCRIPTION
The command deletes configuration records from the configuration database and certificate data. If HP-UX IPSec is active and running, the data (IPsec policy, authentication record or bypass list entry) is also deleted from the runtime policy database. If you delete IPsec policies that have active Security Associations (SAs), HP-UX IPSec removes the SAs from the Security Association Database (SADB) and sends a delete notification to the remote system. If HP-UX IPSec removes an IKE policy, the associated IPSec SAs can remain active, but no IKE control messages can be sent. The command deletes the certificate for the local system and the related private key file from the directory. It does not delete certifi- cates for CAs or Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs). To delete these objects, you must manually delete the files in the directory. You can use the command to display the file names with the subject names for the CA certificate files and the issuer names for the CRL files. You cannot delete the configuration object. Options and Operands The command recognizes the following options and operands: object_name Specifies the name of the object you are deleting. Do not use this argument when deleting a configuration object. You cannot delete the host, IKEv1, or IKEv2 policies. ip_addr Specifies the IP address of the entry in the bypass list you are deleting. EXAMPLES
The following command deletes the host IPsec policy named AUTHOR
