Shell Programming and Scripting

I have a script which would monitor a given directory and delete any files which are older than 10 days. I was going to set the 10 crob jobs to perform this operation for 10 different directories (some are actually sub-directories), but my boss doesn't like that idea, so I need to do that in one script, besides of hard-coding all these directories, does anyone have any other idea? Thanks

You could just hardcode the directory names in the script if you wanted... its just going to be ten lines. Then you could run the script as a cron job.
Now, if you are not comfortable with that, you could have a script that reads the directory names from a file and runs the find on that.

Code:

while read dirname; do
   find $dirname -type f -mtime +9 -exec # do whatever you want here
done < /path/to/list_of_dirnames

The second method will be preferable if the list of directories to clean is going to change often or grow larger over time
