$LTS=$Filelist{$tmpfile = (sort{$Filelist{$b} <=> $Filelist{$a}} keys (%Filelist))[0]};
@FilesToDelete = grep ($TwoMonths < ($LTS - $Filelist{$_}), keys (%Filelist));
print "\nlast file is $tmpfile, $Filelist{$tmpfile}\nFiles to delete:". join ("\n", @FilesToDelete) . "\n";
# You can now remove files
unlink @FilesToDelete;
in my case the directories are /opt/zensd

Heres where I want to find the latest timestamp and compare it with files which are more than 2 months older to the latest one and delete it

Should I make any changes to existing script Smilie

Thanks
