Deleting the contents of a folder older than X hours
Every day a new .zip file is uploaded to a folder and at mid-night the zip file is to be extracted into a /data/ folder, inside a date-named folder.
Code:
# This should extract the contents of a zip file into the /data/ folder into a date based folder
/usr/bin/unzip -a -o /path/to/traveldata/traveldata.zip -d /path/to/traveldata/data/`date +"%Y-%m-%d"`;
Once this is complete, I need to delete old folders within my /data/ folder older than X hours. (It will be set to 48 hours, but for the purposes of my test I've specified 0 hours).
In my example I've been able to remove folders, but it removes the parent /data/ folder too!
I don't want this to happen, rather I just want to delete the sub-folders (or children of /data/).
Code:
# I want to delete any folders found inside the data folder older than 0 hours.
find /path/to/data/ -ctime 0 -type d -exec rm -Rf {} \;
If it is not possible to do this, how do I append the date to the extracted filename?
[rick data]$ pwd
/path/to/traveldata/data
[rick data]$ ll
total 12
drwxrwxr-x 2 rick rick 4096 2009-03-11 08:00 2009-03-09
drwxrwxr-x 2 rick rick 4096 2009-03-11 08:00 2009-03-10
drwxrwxr-x 2 rick rick 4096 2009-03-11 08:00 2009-03-11
[rick data]$ cd
[rick ~]$ find /path/to/traveldata/data -depth ! -name data -type d -ctime 0 -exec /bin/rm -Rf "{}" \;
[rick ~]$ cd -
/path/to/traveldata/data
[rick data]$ ls -la
total 8
drwxrwxr-x 2 rick rick 4096 2009-03-11 08:00 .
drwxrwxr-x 3 rick rick 4096 2009-03-11 07:53 ..
[rick data]$
I tried adding the -depth parameter, I even copy/pasted your code. But its still removing the /data/ folder.
[code]
find /path/to/traveldata/data/ -depth ! -name data -type d -ctime 0 -exec /bin/rm -Rf "{}" \;
find: /path/to/traveldata: No such file or directory

What is the command to remove files that are generated 6 hours or older? The find and remove tells only how to remove if the file is one day old or more. Appreciate quick reply. Thanks (3 Replies)
I need to write a program that will only remove those files that are older than 2 hours.
Is there some variation of
find . -mtime ? -name '*'
that I can use?
Thanks as always for your help.

I want to write a sh script that will find files older than 2 hours and tar them. I've had a look at the find man page but can't see how to do it by hours.
Help please.
