script help

Hi,

I need help in deleting files from different folders older than x days, folder1, folder2, folder3... using a single script.

It should then log what has been removed from these folders and send an e-mail alert.

Can somebody please help me? Thanks in advance

You should start with find, where $DAYS has your x days:

find directory1 directory2 directory3 -mtime +$DAYS > remove_list

rm -rf $(< remove_list)
