I need to keep files for X days from latest date (not just one day)

guys,

any updates

The Script File that I run

bash-3.00$ cat script.sh
#!/bin/bash
Keepdate=`/bin/ls -ult --full-time| sed 1d | head -1 | awk '{ print $6 }'`

I am running this on linux

$uname -a

bash-3.00$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash
Keepdate=`/bin/ls -ult --full-time| sed 1d | head -1 | awk '{ print $6 }'`

echo $Keepdate

in my case the directories are /opt/zensd

Heres where I want to find the latest timestamp and compare it with files which are more than 2 months older to the latest one and delete it

Should I...

wont help ... it deletes all 2003 timestamp files and 2007 along with the script

#!/bin/bash
Keepdate=`/bin/ls -ult --full-time| sed 1d | head -1 | awk '{ print $6 }'`

/bin/ls -ltr | grep -v "$Keepdate" | awk '{print $NF}' | xargs -i rm -rf {}

hmmm ... should that delete only 2003 ?

file - script.sh

#!/bin/sh

#!/bin/bash
Keepdate="/bin/ls -ult --full-time| sed 1d | head -1 | awk '{ print $6 }'"
/bin/ls -ltr | grep -v "$Keepdate" | awk '{print $NF}' | xargs -i rm -rf {}
...

Checking on this

I am not able to understand how this datecalc can be included with our needs :)

datecalc i dont have

bash-2.03$ datecalc
bash: datecalc: command not found

bash-2.03$ /bin/datecalc

I think u r missing my point :

I know how to get logs deleted after x number of days/months

What I need is :

" let's say the logs files are available for Jan 07, Dec 06, Nov 06, Oct 06
...

datecalc is not there in our Production environment...

" Is it possible to see if there are files/dirs where there are difference of 2 months and delete the older once "

Thanks again
