Re: Delete/Move files based on date

To find files older than 30 days use:

find /path -type f -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \;

To find based on a specific date, James Ferguson has an exelent example here:

Ivan, I think I must change de "-mtime" by anny timestamp value, but I do not know the syntax of this value, could you help with some examples?
