UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I have a folder name /tmp. In the folder contain bunch of file with name:

Code:

AB**********1
AB**********2
AB**********3
CA**********1
CA**********2
CA**********3

So I want to delete the file AB* and CA* which more than 2 hours. I do study and come out this command but not working. Kindly help me to see which part im doing wrong.

Code:

find /tmp/ -name AB* && CA*  -cmin +120 -exec rm -fr {} \;

Code:

find /tmp/ -name AB* -o -name CA* -cmin +120 -exec rm -fr {} \;

the new command output as below:

find: paths must precede expression
Usage: find [path...] [expression]

It works with me. Which shell/OS are you using?

Code:

# find /tmp/hari/ -name getbkp* -o -name test
/tmp/hari/getbkp.log
/tmp/hari/test

im using redhat ES.

when i go cd into the tmp folder and run the command, the result will be:
find: paths must precede expression
Usage: find [path...] [expression]
Edit/Delete Message

when i go to root directory and run the same command, the result will be:
no error but the file older than 2 hour is not deleted
