Actually the command i issued is
find /work/can/transfer/ -name "*" -mtime +28 -exec rm -f -r "{}" ";"
But what hapenned was in side the /work/can/transfer/ there is a directory called /crecv1.
When the script run on first day from cron it changes the time of the directory /crecv1 to the current day even though it dodnt delete any file from the directory /crecv1.
And when the script run on second day . What it is doing was it is deleting all files from the directory even though the rule was to delete 28 days mtime.
Please help me to know why it happens .
THanks,
Arun
