Well, no space after #!, you truncate the output for every DIR, xargs will fire for 0 found, so try -n999, and while read DIR' would be lower latency:
find -atime seems a flaky condition; usually people go by -mtime, or simpler yet, robust, testable and accurate: "-newer $marker_file" like this:

Hi All,
My target is to find the biggest files opened by any process and from that i have to find process id and the corresponding file also to avoid file system being hung-up.
Finding the process id: is to kill the process
Finding the biggest file: is to remove the file
To get the process... (0 Replies)
/usr/bin/find $SEARCH_DIR -daystart \( \( -name 'KI*' -a -name '*.csv' \) -o -name '*_xyz_*' \) -mtime $DAYS_AGO -printf %f -printf "\n" | sort -r > $FILES
The above command gives different results when run on a cron job. When run manually the result is accurate. (2 Replies)

Hi. Can somebody tell me if there's a way of creating a symbolic link from a directory on one filesystem to that on another that will allow a find command that doesn't use the -L param to locate a particular file under that new 'linked' dir. With a normal sym link the find command on that... (6 Replies)

tmpwatch
TMPWATCH(8) System Administrator's Manual TMPWATCH(8)NAME
tmpwatch - removes files which haven't been accessed for a period of time
SYNOPSIS
tmpwatch [-u|-m|-c] [-MUadfqstvx] [--verbose] [--force] [--all]
[--nodirs] [--nosymlinks] [--test] [--fuser] [--quiet]
[--atime|--mtime|--ctime] [--dirmtime] [--exclude path]
[--exclude-user user] time dirs
DESCRIPTION
tmpwatch recursively removes files which haven't been accessed for a given time. Normally, it's used to clean up directories which are
used for temporary holding space such as /tmp.
When changing directories, tmpwatch is very sensitive to possible race conditions and will exit with an error if one is detected. It does
not follow symbolic links in the directories it's cleaning (even if a symbolic link is given as its argument), will not switch filesystems,
skips lost+found directories owned by the root user, and only removes empty directories, regular files, and symbolic links.
By default, tmpwatch dates files by their atime (access time), not their mtime (modification time). If files aren't being removed when ls
-l implies they should be, use ls -u to examine their atime to see if that explains the problem.
If the --atime, --ctime or --mtime options are used in combination, the decision about deleting a file will be based on the maximum of
these times. The --dirmtime option implies ignoring atime of directories, even if the --atime option is used.
The time parameter defines the threshold for removing files. If the file has not been accessed for time, the file is removed. The time
argument is a number with an optional single-character suffix specifying the units: h for hours, d for days. If no suffix is specified,
time is in hours.
Following this, one or more directories may be given for tmpwatch to clean up.
OPTIONS -u, --atime
Make the decision about deleting a file based on the file's atime (access time). This is the default.
Note that the periodic updatedb file system scans keep the atime of directories recent.
-m, --mtime
Make the decision about deleting a file based on the file's mtime (modification time) instead of the atime.
-c, --ctime
Make the decision about deleting a file based on the file's ctime (inode change time) instead of the atime; for directories, make
the decision based on the mtime.
-M, --dirmtime
Make the decision about deleting a directory based on the directory's mtime (modification time) instead of the atime; completely
ignore atime for directories.
-a, --all
Remove all file types, not just regular files, symbolic links and directories.
-d, --nodirs
Do not attempt to remove directories, even if they are empty.
-f, --force
Remove files even if root doesn't have write access (akin to rm -f).
-l, --nosymlinks
Do not attempt to remove symbolic links.
-q, --quiet
Report only fatal errors.
-s, --fuser
Attempt to use the "fuser" command to see if a file is already open before removing it. Not enabled by default. Does help in some
circumstances, but not all. Dependent on fuser being installed in /sbin. Not supported on HP-UX or Solaris.
-t, --test
Don't remove files, but go through the motions of removing them. This implies -v.
-U, --exclude-user=user
Don't remove files owned by user, which can be an user name or numeric user ID.
-v, --verbose
Print a verbose display. Two levels of verboseness are available -- use this option twice to get the most verbose output.
-x, --exclude=path
Skip path; if path is a directory, all files contained in it are skipped too. If path does not exist, it must be an absolute path
that contains no symbolic links.
SEE ALSO cron(1), ls(1), rm(1), fuser(1)WARNINGS
GNU-style long options are not supported on HP-UX.
