I'm using RH7.3 (with all the latest). I have a directory with several temporary subdirectories that I'd like to clean up.
find /home/worktmp -type d -mtime 4 | xargs rm -rf (whole bunches of tmp1, tmp2, tmp3 directories there). I only want to delete the directories if the last modified time is 4 days old in this example. Well, this doesn't work. When I was testing last night there were directories with modify times from August this year... I cleaned it up using tmpwatch, but this is going to kill files in the directories regardless of the directory last modified time, I only want to delete all files and the directory when all files are older than x days. Anybody have suggestions? From what I can tell the -mtime should work, but it simply does not (or I'm using it totally wrong ;-) -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
