Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Purge files, keep 3 versions of last 4 days Post 30828 by blt123 on Monday 28th of October 2002 01:20:09 PM
Old 10-28-2002
Hello,
Some more information:
On Monday I create files (49) from 8:00am until 8:00pm - one file every 15 minutes. On Tuesday I do the same thing, create 49 files. On Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. etc. - I do the same thing - create 49 files daily. A cleanup job runs every night which should delete unwanted files.

If its Thursday, the cleanup job will keep the 3 latest files (7:30pm, 7:45pm 8:00pm) for Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday and Monday.

I will end up with 12 files left in the directory on any given day.

Does this explain it better?
