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 -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l Regards, Marius --------------------------------- Yahoo!
