Find wildcard .shtml files in wildcard directories and removing them- How's it done?
I'm trying to figure out how to build a small shell script that will find old .shtml files in every /tgp/ directory on the server and delete them if they are older than 10 days...

The structure of the paths are like this:
/home/domains/www.domain2.com/tgp/
/home/domains/www.domain3.com/tgp/
/home/domains/www.domain4.com/tgp/
/home/domains/www.domain5.com/tgp/

So I've got 220 domains on this one box and in each of those domains I've got a directory called /tgp/ ...in /tgp/ directory I have hundreds of old .shtml files that I need to delete.

If I use this command will it work or will it cause any damage?

find /tgp -mtime +10 -name "*.shtml" -exec rm

If this is not the best way to do this, which way should I handle this and what command could take care of this?
