[Michael's script snipped] Another example (which I did not author): #!/bin/sh # # Periodically clean up amavis/tmp and virusmails AMAVISD_TMP_DIR="/var/amavis/tmp" if [ -d $AMAVISD_TMP_DIR ]; then cd $AMAVISD_TMP_DIR find $AMAVISD_TMP_DIR -type d -atime +30 -exec rm -r {} \; find $AMAVISD_TMP_DIR -type f -atime +30 -exec rm -r {} \; fi AMAVISD_VIR_DIR="/var/virusmails" if [ -d $AMAVISD_VIR_DIR ]; then cd $AMAVISD_VIR_DIR find $AMAVISD_VIR_DIR -type d -atime +30 -exec rm -r {} \; find $AMAVISD_VIR_DIR -type f -atime +30 -exec rm -r {} \; fi -- Sahil Tandon <sa...@tandon.net> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
