Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Removing files automatically from a directory after 30 days. Post 76034 by pixelbeat on Friday 24th of June 2005 06:32:42 AM

There are a fw problems with that find.

1. "*.act and *.log" will not match anything
2. It will start an rm process per file

Something like the following would be better:

Code:
find /path/to/dir -type f \( -name "*.log" -o -name "*.act" \) -mtime +30 -print0 |
xargs -r0 rm

Note I don't understand the OPs comment about mtime not working.
Note mtime is initialised with the date the file was created.
