Please let me know how I can make this better or just work. Thx guys!
What is the criteria for multiple directories ?

-- all the directories under one directory
-- directories with a specific name pattern
-- directories with an unique timestamp
-- directories that are specific to a process or log
-- directories that are dummy created by some process and needs to be cleaned up..
