UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

ya you are right. if i use the below code, there may be a chance to delete lesser than one min older files.

Code:

rm -rf /home/username/*
sleep 60

Script executing infinitely is a bad idea to write scripts and it affects server performance too. so we need to use sleep in inside the loop or else we can remove the loop and have the find cmd alone and configure the script in the cron entry.

im using unix platform..

Please can you rewrite your specification so that people understand what you want. Perhaps give a before and after example and show us what you have tried so far. It would also help to know what Operating System you have and what Shell you are using because people are posting commands which only work on certain systems.
