Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi

I want to create a script which deleted files in the following folders older than 30 days. There are a particular version of files inside it to be deleted

Folders :

/files0/interfaces/ResponsysSavedList/BackInStock/EmailContent/backup
/files0/interfaces/ResponsysSavedList/SavedList/backup
/files0/interfaces/commerce/coupons/incoming/backup
/files0/interfaces/commerce/coupons/outgoing/backup

I have created the following code but it doesnt seems to be working fine :

Code:

$folder="EmailContent Recipients"
BACKUP_DEST=$APPSTORAGE/interfaces/ResponsysSavedList/BackInStock/$folder/backup

# Deleting .csv files from ResponsysSavedList older than 30 days
echo "Searching for files older than 30 days to Delete"
for $folder in $BACKUP_DEST 
do 
    find $BACKUP_DEST -name "NL_Responsys_BackInStock_*.csv" -type f -mtime +30 -print | while read FILENAME
    do
        ls -ald "${FILENAME}"
        rm -r "${FILENAME}"
    done
    echo "BACKUP_DEST incorrect or missing: ${BACKUP_DEST}"
done

APPSTORAGE is my complete path, so dont bother about it.

The key thing is to write a single code which can delete the file from different paths and they change after folloowing a heirarchy.

try something like this..

Code:

find $BACKUP_DEST -name "NL_Responsys_BackInStock_*.csv" -type f -mtime +30 -exec rm -r {} \;

I am getting this error :

bash-3.2$ ./Test.sh -e dev
INFO: Running as admin user nlaedev01
./Test.sh: line 84: =EmailContent Recipients: command not found
Searching for files older than 30 days to Delete
