You can use -mtime option in find to return files whose modification |
| 12 |
time are older than X days ago. For example I have a job to delete |
| 13 |
files who are 48 hours old using something like: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
find /directoryname -mtime +1 -delete |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
(something like that, i'm writing it from memory, refer to manpage) |
