Emergency UNIX and Linux Support

It would be something like:

Code:

 find <given_directory> -type f  -mtime +21 -exec rm {} \;

That also deletes all files in all subdirectories beneath given_directory.

Use with maxdepth/prune option.

ex:

Code:

find <given_directory> -type f  -maxdepth 1 -mtime +21 -exec rm {} \;

Hi friends,
First of all, thank you so much for your help. The following code seems fine
find <directory_name> -type f -maxdepth 1 -mtime +4 -exec print {} \;
But i work on UNIX AIX and it doenot recognise this "-maxdept 1" option.Then i tried
find /inbound/etl/dev/CMD/ -type f -depth 1 -mtime depth +21 -exec print {} \;
I used -depth instead, but it still gives this error
"find: 0652-009 There is a missing conjunction"
I tried
eval find /inbound/etl/dev/CMD/ -type f -depth 1 -mtime +21 -exec print {} \;
Still the error is same.Anyone out there who knows whats going on?
And one more thing i just want to remove the files from CMD directory and not from others(as it happens recursively to other directories) Thanks in advance.
Raj.

-depth does something else. You'll have to use -prune.

Code:

find /inbound/etl/dev/CMD/ \( -type d \! name . -prune \) -o \( -type f -mtime +21 -print \)

If you are sure this gives you the output you want, then pipe the command through xargs:

Code:

| xargs rm -f
