find and purge log files 1

[ksinbaraj]

I want to purge the log files, .gz files, which are 7 days older or more.

This is the line I execute to do the job.

/usr/bin/find /var/log/active/*gz -mtime +7 -exec /usr/bin/rm {} \; > /dev/null 2>&1

But it returns with the following error:

bash: /usr/bin/find: The parameter or environment lists are too long.

Please help me out to correct the problem and correct syntax in the script.

thanks
