Rajkumar,
You can use the same script to achive what you need.
You can provide inputs to this script and it works as well with some modifications.
#!/usr/bin/ksh
if[ $# -ne 3 ]
then
echo "Usage: $0 directory expiry match"
exit 1
fi
DIR=${X:-$1}
EXPIRE=${E:-$2}
MATCH=${M:-$3}
DIRs=`ll -d $DIR`
for I in $DIRs
do
if [ -d $I ]
then
echo $I >> /tmp/valid$$
fi
done
TOTALDIR=`wc -l /tmp/valid$$|awk '{print $1}'`
if [ $TOTALDIR -eq 0 ]
then
logger "$0: No valid directories found"
exit 1
else
logger "$0: $TOTALDIR number of dirs found.. deleting"
fi
for I in `cat /tmp/valid$$`
do
COUNT=0
find $I -name $MATCH -mtime $EXPIRE|while read FILE
do
rm $FILE && logger "$0 : $FILE deleted"
COUNT=$(expr $COUNT+1)
done
logger "$0: deleted $COUNT files in $I"
done
rm /tmp/valid$$
exit 0
//END of the script
Now this script will take three arguments
#input.ksh directory expiry match_string
For ex.,
#input.sh /database/X* 4 X_*
will delete all the files under /database/X* directories that haven't been modified since 4days that match the string X_*.
I suggest you use this script on some temporary directories and see if it works for permitations and combinations of inputs. I don't have a system in front of me. It doesn't do error checking. For ex., input.ksh test test new will give out errors and may also do damage. So, you need to be careful. To do error checking is a big business.

You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try
