HTH,

Or even faster case it does not spawn "rm" for every file:
find public_html/tf2/tf/replays -mindepth 1 -mtime +7 -delete
Yours is the best solution, but the xargs solution (though less
efficient, since it spawns extra processes) also wouldn't spawn "rm" for
every file. If there are fewer than a few thousand files, it would
likely end up being a single "rm"; if the concatenated names are longer
than the shell will allow, xargs splits them up and uses more
invocations as necessary. It's a pretty neat tool that is useful in many
other circumstances.
