Remove files older than 7 days

[tcol]

I need to remove files in a directory which are older than 7 days from the current date. Can someone please provide an example of how to do this using awk (or kornshell).
Thanks

Hi tcol,

Here are two find commands to do this in the
current directory:


# asks if O.K. to delete file ( safest method but slow )

find . -atime +7 -ok rm -f {} \;

# deletes file automatically ( potentially dangerous! )

find . -atime +7 -exec rm -f {} \;

# Hope this helps you!

yeah - that's right. The only thing is the
_vague_ definition of "older".

#define older accessTime
#define older creationTime
#define older statusChangeTime
#define older dataModifiedTime

or some kind of the combinations of the some/all
of the above.
