Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi ,
I'm using Ksh 88 version.
I've a text file which contains the directory names

Code:

DIR1
DIR2
----
DIR10

I've to remove the data which has more that 30 days from the above directories .
The data has to be removed from the following path

Code:

cd /home/etc/DIR1/hist
cd /home/etc/DIR2/hist
------
cd /home/etc/DIR10/hist

Could you please suggest me the generalized script for the following find command that can work for all the directories in the above given path.

Code:

find $file_path -type f -atime +30 -exec rm -f {} \;

Thank you

Try something like this:

Code:

xargs -n1 -i@ find /home/etc/@/hist -type f -atime +30 -exec rm -f {} \; < file

Conidering your input sample , i assume that directory you want to look is under etc/*/hist .

Code:

find /home/etc/*/hist -type f -atime +30 -exec ls -l {} \;

If the output looks correct with the list of files to be deleted then use

Code:

rm -f

instead of

Code:

ls -l
