Question Example delete scripts
Hi People,

Does anyone have some example scripts that can be used for deleting old files from several directories. All the parameters would come from a control file containing directory path, age and file name id's.

Probably a bit to ask, but if I can be pointed in the right direction that would be great.

Cheers and Beers....uummmm Beeeerrrrrr
