Find and removing the old files and zipping the files using shell script
Hi,

I am trying to removing the old files which were older than 10 days and same g zipping the files using the shell script.

script was return as follows.

Code:
find /jboss7_homes/JBOSS7/SKYLIV??/SKYLIV??_CRM/jboss-eap-7.0/standalone/log -mtime +10 -type f | xargs rm -f
find /cer_skyliv??/log -mtime +30 -type f | xargs rm -f
find /cer_skyliv??/log -mtime +10 -a -mtime -30 -type f | xargs gzip -fq
find /cer_skyliv??/work/bil -mtime +10 -type f | xargs gzip -fq

If i am executing using the shell script receiving the below error message as

Code:
./cleanup.sh
'm: invalid option -- '
Try `rm --help' for more information.
'm: invalid option -- '
Try `rm --help' for more information.
'zip: invalid option -- '
Try `gzip --help' for more information.
'zip: invalid option -- '
Try `gzip --help' for more information.

Though if we are executing the command explicitly i.e running the command its working fine . It seems using the shell script its not running .
