thanks for replies, but i think these will not help.
Lets say I make a backup of a file named xyz.txt on 22-JAN-2010.
On 15-FEB-2010 I delete it.
When I do diff on 15-FEB-2010 , it will say xyz.txt exist only in the backup.
If I calculate its age it will be 23 days old.
I calculate age of file using the following script:
Code:
myfile=xyz.txt
tnow=`date +%s`
tfile=`date +%s -r $myfile`
agesecs=$(($tnow-$tfile)) #Age of filename in seconds
agedays=$(($agesecs/86400)) #Age in days
I want to delete the file 3 days after , relative to 15-FEB-2010.
Using the above script if i compare age on 15-FEB-2010 it will already be > 3 days

NAME
ipurge - delete mail from IMAP mailbox or partition based on age or size
SYNOPSIS
ipurge [ -f ] [ -C config-file ] [ -x ] [ -X ] [ -i ] [ -s ] [ -o ]
[ -d days | -b bytes | -k Kbytes | -m Mbytes ]
[ mailbox-pattern... ]
DESCRIPTION
Ipurge deletes messages from the mailbox(es) specified by mailbox-pattern that are older or larger than specified by the -d, -b, -k or -m
options. If no mailbox-pattern is given, ipurge works on all mailboxes. If the -x option is given, the message age and size MUST match
exactly those specified by -d, -b, -k or -m. The are no default values, and at least one of -d, -b, -k or -m MUST be specified.
Ipurge by default only deletes mail below shared folders, which means that mails in mailbox(es) below INBOX.* and user.* stay untouched.
Use the option -f to also delete mail in mailbox(es) below these folders.
Ipurge reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.
OPTIONS -f Force deletion of mail in all mailboxes.
-C config-file
Read configuration options from config-file.
-d days
Age of message in days.
-b bytes
Size of message in bytes.
-k Kbytes
Size of message in Kbytes (2^10 bytes).
-m Mbytes
Size of message in Mbytes (2^20 bytes).
-x Perform an exact match on age or size (instead of older or larger).
-X Use delivery time instead of Date: header for date matches
-i Invert match logic: -x means not equal, date is for newer, size is for smaller
-s Skip over messages that have the Flagged flag set.
-o Only purge messages that have the Deleted flag set.
