Hi,
I'm on RHEL3 and I use something like this, which works

/usr/bin/find /u08/bla/bla/*.* -mtime +31 -print -exec /bin/rm {} \;

hth

Steve Perry <sperry@xxxxxxxxxxx> a écrit : Didn't know if anyone else has run 
across this, but I spent 1.5 hours  
trying to get a tried and true find command to work on RHEL4 (32-bit)  
without success.

I wanted to  delete the audit files in $ORACLE_BASE/admin// 
adump  that were older than 60 days. It shouldn't be rocket science  
or so I thought.

the command was

find $ORACLE_BASE/admin//adump -name "ora*.aud" -mtime +60

It was supposed to have " -exec rm {} \;", but I never got that far  
because it wouldn't return any files.

i could use -60 and it would return files less than 60 days, but "+"  
failed to return anything. I tried ctime as well, but nothing.
man and google didn't return anything.

Anybody run across this before?
I thought I'd ask before writing a perl script. Does anyone have any  
one-line perl scripts before I write a longer one?

Thanks,
steve
