- atime finds files *last accessed* 150 days ago. You probably need
mtime instead. I am not even sure whether running the script will
change the atime of all files in the directory and thus prevent
anything in it to be deleted. You should make sure that the filesystem
is not mounted with "relatime" or "noatime" as well when using atime.
- You are starting an rm process for every file to delete. You can end
the command with "+" instead of "\;" to make find pass as many files
to rm as possible. If you delete many files that way, that may make a
big difference spped-wise.
- Do you want to have the list mailed as an attachment? -Then I would
just redirect the output to a file and use mutt's batch mode to send
the file (mutt -x -a $file).
- Otherwise, I would still redirect first and then send the mail as an
additional step:
find … > file
mail -s "$subject" $recipient < file
- If you insist:
find … | tee [-a] file | mail -s "$subject" $recipient
"tee -a" appends to "file", leaving out "-a" will overwrite "file".
