UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hey out there

This is all I have in my crontab file. I know the crontab works because it was already out there and working. I simply replaced the existing with my line of code below to see if it worked. I uploaded 6 month old pdf files in this directory, stopped/started all the scripts that start crontab and they are still there the next morning. Is there anything wrong with my line below for removing pdf files over 30 days old?

0 0 * * * /prod/app/audit/pdf/GB/ -type f -name '*.pdf' -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \;

You seem to be missing the find part in this command. It should read:

Code:

find /prod/app/audit/pdf/GB/ -type......

ok putting that in I get this msg from the output

"find: incomplete statement"

This is my complete statement thats not working. What wrong with it?

0 0 * * * find /prod/app/audit/pdf/GB/ -type f -name '*.pdf' -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \;

Check if by having the full path of find in crontab works..?

Code:

0 0 * * * /usr/bin/find /prod/app/audit/pdf/GB/ -type f -name '*.pdf' -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \;
