hi,

First, create your script which should like the following:

#!/bin/sh
#Script Name: /home/yogeeraj/scripts/purge_script.sh
DATAPATH=
CRITERIA="''"
find $DATAPATH -xdev -type f -mtime +15 -name $CRITERIA -exec rm -f {} \ ;
#End


then schedule the script using CRON.
#*******************************************************************************
# min|hour |day |month|day |script
# | |of mo| |of wk|
#----|-----|-----|-----|-----|--------------------------------------------------
#*******************************************************************************
30 01 * * * /home/yogeeraj/scripts/purge_script.sh 1>
/home/yogeeraj/scripts/logfiles/output-purge_script.crn 2>/home/yogeeraj/scripts/logfiles/error-purge_script.crn
#*******************************************************************************
# END OF TABLE day0->Sunday day6->Saturday
#*******************************************************************************

if you need any further clarifications, please let us know

kind regards

hi again,

You should also replace "\;" by "+" for performance.

so the script should be changed as follows:

find $DATAPATH -xdev -type f -mtime +15 -name $CRITERIA -exec rm -f {} +


sorry for inconveniences

kind regards
