Shell differences between AIX & Solaris?

[mnbhahn]

Is anyone aware of shell differences between AIX and Solaris. There is either a differnce in the shell or the "find" command.

For example on Solaris...

# find /tmp/findtst -type d -mtime +30 -exec rm -r {} \;
# echo $?
0

On AIX ...

# find: 0652-081 cannot change directory to </tmp/findtst/tst>: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
# echo $?
1

Any ideas?
Mike

PS - Here is a sample script that demonstrates the problem...
#!/bin/ksh

tmpdir=/tmp/findtst

mkdir $tmpdir
cd $tmpdir
mkdir -p ./tst
touch ./tst/abcfile
touch 1101000004 ./tst # back-date the directory to Nov 2004.
cd -

ls -ld $tmpdir/tst
ls -ld $tmpdir/tst/*

find $tmpdir -type d -mtime +30
echo " "
echo find status=$?
find $tmpdir -type d -mtime +30 -exec rm -r {} \;
echo findrm status=$?

# Cleanup
rm -rf $tmpdir

exit 0

Add the -depth option to your find statement.
