Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting [Solved] Issue with deleting files through find Post 302831103 by Gangadhar Reddy on Wednesday 10th of July 2013 09:46:12 AM
Old 07-10-2013
I'm new to unix. I would like to ignore the error. Probably that's better as in other environments there will be other subdirectories.

So u mean to say, I've to do this way. I hope it will ignore any permission denied error and proceed ahead. Also this is running through Autosys job so I hope the job will turn successful.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
cd /orcl/bir/eod_badfiles
find ./ -type f -name "*.csv" -mtime +6 -exec rm -f {} \; 2> /dev/null
find ./ -type f -name "*.bad" -mtime +6 -exec rm -f {} \; 2> /dev/null
cd /orcl/bir
find ./ -type f -name "*.log" -mtime +6 -exec rm -f {} \; 2> /dev/null

if you consider it as warning messages

redirect the find output to 2> /dev/null
This is not working. It is giving error.
Code:
find: paths must precede expression
Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [path...] [expression]

NAME

       surfraw-update-path - updates PATH in shell config files

SYNOPSIS

       surfraw-update-path [-add] [-remove] [-check] [-sys] [-all] [-help] [-shell=SHELL]

DESCRIPTION

       surfraw-update-path adds the surfraw elvi directory (/usr/lib/surfraw) to your PATH in your shell's config file.

       Currently it supports bash, sh, csh, tcsh, ash, dash, ksh, pdksh, zsh, rc, and es

       Don't forget to login again or source your login files for it to take effect.

OPTIONS

       -check
	   Checks to see if the surfraw config code is present.  This is the default.

       -add
	   Adds the surfraw config code.

       -remove
	   Removes the surfraw config code

       -sys
	   Updates the system-wide shell config instead of the user.  Must be done as root.

       -shell=SHELL

	   sh, ash, bash, dash, csh, tcsh, ksh, pdksh, zsh, rc, and es.

       -all
	   Attempts to configure the startup files for all known shells

       -help
	   Gives a usage message

RETURN VALUE

       -check returns 0 if the surfraw code is present in the file, 1 if it is not found, or 2 on error.

       All other options return 0 on success, or 2 on error.

ENVIRONMENT

       SHELL
	   Used to determine which shell to configure, if -shell is not given.

       HOME
	   Used to find users config files.

       ENV Used by posix-compliant shells to specify a startup rc file.

       ZDOTDIR
