delete all files older than 1 week 2

[blueindian1]

Hello,

Total Unix newbie here....

I am in need of a command to include in a script that will delete all the files in a particular directory when they are more than 1 week old.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

You may use the "find" command for this.

find <DirectoryName> -name '*' -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \;

Please read the manual pages of the &quot;find&quot; command before you use this.

thanks...worked like a charm, except i had to change '*' to *.*

could be a difference in shells? did this in the korn shell
