Re: File delete script not working

from reading the responses I suspect it is because I have missed out
the -print option. I will give it a try to see if it works.

The version in use is 4.2.7

I having a problem applying this script, it just doesn't seem to work.

The purpose is to delete all files over 30 days old. The directories
are 1,2,3,4,5.

Can anyone who knows about find and xargs please help.
It does not from the command line or a cron job.


cd /var/www/html/zm/events
find 1 -type f -mtime +30 | xargs rm -f
find 2 -type f -mtime +30 | xargs rm -f
find 3 -type f -mtime +30 | xargs rm -f
find 4 -type f -mtime +30 | xargs rm -f
find 5 -type f -mtime +30 | xargs rm -f
