Purging 2000+ directories efficiently
Hi

I have a requirement wherein i need to purge some directories.

I have more than 2000 directories where i need to keep data for 10 days and delete the rest. What i am looking for is an efficient way to achieve this.

There are four mount points from where i need to delete the files.

Below is an example of the structure of the mount points.

Code:
/XXXX/XXX/XXXX/XXXX/XXXX/<AAAAA>/<aaaa>/duplicate
                          exception
                          archive

/XXXX/XXX/XXXX/XXXX/XXXX/custom/xxx/<aaa>/archive

/XXXX/XXX/XXXX/XXXX/XXXX/<format>/archive

/XXXX/XXX/XXXX/XXXX/

I am aware of the conditions that should be in place for the deletion to take place but since the number of directories is too much it would be helpful if anyone can suggest an efficient way of doing this.

All values within <> eg. <AAAAA> will be fetched using sql scripts.

The shell i am using is ksh.
