Taking into consideration what has been posted by kshji, I'd rewrite the script approximately as follows, with every "schedule" representing one 'mtime', exemplified for the first three (- Linux Bash code, subject to AIX adaption):

Code:
#! /bin/bash
 
function displayState()
{
  case $2 in
  S1)
    echo "Schedule: $1 - Finding started at: $( date '+%d.%m %H.%M' )" ;;
  S2)
    echo "Schedule: $1 - Removal started at: $( date '+%d.%m %H.%M' )" ;;
  S3)
    echo "Schedule: $1 - Processing done at: $( date '+%d.%m %H.%M' )" ;;
  esac
}
 
function removeOldies()
{
  cat $1 | while read ENTRY
  do
    if [ -f $ENTRY ] # single file
    then
      rm -f $ENTRY
    elif [ -d $ENTRY ] # directory
    then
      rm -fdr $ENTRY
    fi
  done
  rm -f $1
}
 
# main function
 
displayState $1 S1
case $1 in
007)
  ${FIND} ${Purge_DIR} -type f -name '*TM-5193*' -mtime +7 -print >> stuff.list ;;
010)
  ${FIND} ${Purge_DIR} -type f \( -name '*DAILY*' -o -name '*(weekly)*' \) \
    -mtime +10 -print >> stuff.list ;;
014)
  ${FIND} ${Purge_DIR} -type f \( -name '*(WEEK)*' -o -name '*(MON)*' -o -name '*(TUE)*' \
    -o -name '*(WED)*' -o -name '*(THU)*' -o -name '*(FRI)*' -o -name '*(SAT)*' \
    -o -name '*(SUN)*' -o -name '*(WEEKLY)*' \) -mtime +14 -print >> stuff.list ;;
esac
displayState $1 S2
removeOldies stuff.list
displayState $1 S3
 
exit 0
 
# game over ;-)

Other than the original one, this script executes each "search & destroy" task individually, e.g.:

Code:
# /bin/bash kickOut.bash 014

Thus, larger tasks could be performed one by one (and at different times) as well as smaller ones in parallel (by calling the same script multiple times) - which at least should make the "monster task" less daunting Smilie
