Full Discussion: Three month old specific files deletion
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Three month old specific files deletion Post 302916485 by gull04 on Wednesday 10th of September 2014 08:17:05 AM

Hi,

Specifying "tomcatfiles*log" will only find files that start "tomcatfiles" and end "log" so the exclusion of the ".gz" files is superfluous also you should use the "-exec" switch within find.

So the command would look like;

Code:
find . -type f -mtime +90 -name "tomcatfiles*.log" -exec gzip -9v {} \;

Regards

Dave
