Hi All,

I have samba file server that uses as file-sharing (mostly mp3). Right
now I want to know which file (mp3) that have been accessed (read),
not changed.. So I can delete all music files that stay too long but
not played for a long time.. How can I do it ?
I try 'ls -lat' .. buat I guess it said which file that have been
changed / writed /edited. right ?

First make certain that atime is enabled on the filesystem of interest. Then
it's easy to test for last access time with a shell script, and delete those
files which haven't been accessed for whatever time period you decide.

Off the top of my head, you could have a cron job do something like:

find /path/to/mp3s -atime +90 -exec rm {} \;

every day at 0420 or something appropriate.
