My sincere thanks go out to :- Neill, Mark (MBS) Mike Salehi Daniel Azzarri Buddy Lumpkin Paul LaMadeleine Frans Tigelaar Dylan Northrup todd.a.fiedler dave floyd ed.rolison Chris Hoogendyk David Evans Edward Scown Andy Bach Most suggestions centred around the following (apart from read the man page for 'find') :- find /single-directory -ctime 60 -exec rm -f {} \; This will delete all the files in "single-directory" that are older than 60x24 hours. If in doubt then use "ls -l" intead of the "rm -f" exec. Oops. forgot. You can use 'mtime' twice in a find command. thus: find $DIR -mtime -10 -mtime +5 -exec rm {} \; will find all files between 5 and 10 days old, and delete them. My preferred solution was this script from Edward Scown :- for file in `ls -al | awk '/Aug/ {print $9}'` do rm -f $file echo "Removed $file" done Many thanks to all who responded, or may yet respond :-) Best regards, Mark Mahabir _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Mon Oct 29 09:10:27 2001
