Hello...
So thats my solution so far.
My only problem is that if iam logged in as root, it will delete all the files.
If iam logged in as normal user it works as it should.
This script is part of a cronjob so it must be root who will execute that.
Has anybody a solution for that problem?

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

clear
echo Deleted Files
echo '#############'
echo ' '

###create lists

cd /tmp/javacores
ls -t|grep "^[h-jH-J]" >> /tmp/javacores/listbefore.txt

awk -F. '{ print $1 }' /tmp/javacores/listbefore.txt | sort -u | 
while read corefile
do
     grep "$corefile" /tmp/javacores/listbefore.txt | tail -2  >> /tmp/javacores/listafter.txt
done

###compare lists

comm -13 listafter.txt listbefore.txt >> listcmp.txt

###remove files

for i in `cat listcmp.txt`
do

rm -r /tmp/javacores/$i
echo $i was deleted !
done
echo ' '

rm /tmp/javacores/listbefore.txt
rm /tmp/javacores/listafter.txt
rm /tmp/javacores/listcmp.txt

###write log-file
touch date`date +%F-%H-%M-%S`.log

Btw its not only javacores which should be deleted. "Heapdumps" also.
Thatīs why the
Code:
ls -t|grep "^[h-jH-J]"

. Smilie

Thanks in advance!
