[CentOS] Find files
Hi, I am trying to delete files that are more than 7 days old. When I run it interactively it works, no problem, but it does not run from a file stored in cron.daily. The rest of that daily file runs properly. [The execute bit is on]. I don't see anything in the /var/log/messages. --- #!/bin/bash find /mnt/iog -type f -name '*.tar.gz' -mtime +7 | xarg rm --- Any idea what am I missing? -- Thanks http://www.911networks.com When the network has to work ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You can also do it like this
/usr/bin/find /mnt/iog -type f -name '*.tar.gz' -mtime +7 -print -exec
rm -f {} \;
If you want to log the results that were deleted try this
/usr/bin/find /mnt/iog -type f -name '*.tar.gz' -mtime +7 -print -exec
rm -f {} \; mylog 2 /dev/null
