What are the ownerships of the unremoved directories? Also, were the directories themselves not at least a week old?
Perhaps a bug is lurking. If I am the Puppet pattern-applicator and I remove the files first, the directory file is updated and will fail the age test if that calculation is not done before the file removes in that directory. I don't know if the pattern-applicator is prone to that. You might want to run a simple bare-bones test to check it or perhaps the designers can speak to that point. --Stuart Via Apple iPhone 4S on the AT&T Wireless Network On Aug 8, 2012, at 6:40 AM, Dan White <y...@comcast.net> wrote: > In a node, for a test, I have: > > tidy { '/opt/home/users/george': > age => "1w", > recurse => true, > rmdirs => true, > } > > and when I ran it, it cleaned out all the files under "george", but not the > directories. > There are two directories, one with today's date on it (I expect that one to > stay) and another with a June date on it.
