UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hi,

I have a .ksh script which finds all the directories older than 84 days and tries to housekeep. Below is the command used

find * -depth -type d -ctime +84 -exec rm -rf {} \;

The above command lists all the directories ie child and parent directory in descending order which are more than 84 days old

When the script is executed from unix prompt, it does what it was intended for.

But when the same is executed by calling from another .ksh script on a by a oracle batch scheduler it is deleting only the subfolders and not the parent folder.

Can someone throw some light on this.
