RedHat Find if file is 45 min old if yes delete
Hello,
we have process2(my_pro.sh) which check for the file Pr_rn_Chk (generated by other process1). The process runs every 15 min.
if exist Pr_rn_Chk the process will exit. Else it will continue.

I want to check if the file Pr_rn_Chk is older than 45 min delete the file. so that 4th run should be ok.

can someone suggest easiest method to do that.

Since you run every 15 minutes, you can have three marker files you rename and touch to give you a 45 minute marker file.
Code:
Every 15 minute Cron script:
 
#!/usr/bin/ksh
 
find head_dir -type f ! -newer marker45 | xargs -n128 rm
 
mv marker30 marker45 # destroys old marker45
 
mv marker15 marker30
 
touch marker15

The xargs gives you economy of scale and pipeline parallelism.

Below code will display file if it is older than 45 mins
Code:
find dir_name -type f -name "Pr_rn_Chk" -mmin +45

If you want to delete the file
Code:
find dir_name -type f -name "Pr_rn_Chk" -mmin +45 -exec rm -f {} \;
