Remove files using ssh
Hi ,
I am trying to remove files using ssh login to other server but i am not able to delete files
I am using below options:
Code:
ssh username@"$Server" -t bash << EOF
cd $location
rm -rf `find . -name *.log.* -mtime +450`

Server name I am picking from some other file and its correct rm command is not working. Please suggest

Try this:-
Code:
ssh ${username}@${hostname} "cd $location; find . -name \"*.log.*\" -mtime +450 -exec ls -l {} \;"

Note: If ls -l is listing all the files which are supposed to be deleted. Then replace it with rm -rf. I hope this helps.
