script to remove files older than 60 days
Hi
I need help in the script which looks at a contorl file which has a list of file names like xxxx.12345 and I want to take only xxxxx and search in a specific directory and remove the file if its older than 60 days

I have written something like this.. but seems to be wrong
Code:
LOG_DIR="/aaa/bbb/ccc"
loglist="${dummy}/log.list"
# Clean up old  files
for clean in `awk '! /#/ && ! /^$/ {print $1}' ${loglist}`
do
find ${LOG_DIR} -name "${loglist}" -mtime +60 -exec rm -f {} \;
done

can someone tell me if this works ?

Regards,
Antony

       glance-cache-cleaner - Glance Cache Cleaner

GLANCE IMAGE CACHE INVALID CACHE ENTRY AND STALLED IMAGE CLEANER

       Author glance@lists.launchpad.net

       Date   2012-01-03

       Copyright

   SYNOPSIS
	  glance-cache-cleaner [options]

   DESCRIPTION
       This is meant to be run as a periodic task from cron.

       If  something  goes wrong while we're caching an image (for example the fetch times out, or an exception is raised), we create an 'invalid'
       entry. These entires are left around for debugging purposes. However, after some period of time, we want to clean these up.

       Also, if an incomplete image hangs around past the image_cache_stall_time period, we automatically sweep it up.

   OPTIONS
	  --version
		 show program's version number and exit

	  -h, --help
		 show this help message and exit

	  --config-file=PATH
		 Path to a config file to use. Multiple config files can be specified, with values in later files taking precedence.  The  default
		 files used are: []

	  -d, --debug

	  --nodebug
		 Do not print debugging output

	  -v, --verbose
		 Print more verbose output

	  --noverbose
		 Do not print verbose output

	  --log-config=PATH
		 If  this option is specified, the logging configuration file specified is used and overrides any other logging options specified.
		 Please see the Python logging module documentation for details on logging configuration files.

	  --log-format=FORMAT
		 A logging.Formatter log message format string which may use any of the available logging.LogRecord attributes.  Default: none

	  --log-date-format=DATE_FORMAT
		 Format string for %(asctime)s in log records. Default: none

	  --log-file=PATH
		 (Optional) Name of log file to output to. If not set, logging will go to stdout.

	  --log-dir=LOG_DIR
		 (Optional) The directory to keep log files in (will be prepended to --logfile)
