Hi, I need some help in writing this script which deletes ONLY SPECIFIC directories in a folder structure, which are 90 days old. Directory structure is something like this: 1. Orders directory is having Incoming and Outgoing directories. 2. Each Incoming and Outgoing directories is having several Store1, Store2, Store3...dirs. 4. Store1 dir is having Today, Store1_20051007_093658, Store1_20060110_111149...dirs. 5. Similar with Store2,Store3...each will have Today, Store2__20060110_111149 dir under Store2...and Today, Store3_20060110_111149 dirs under Store3.... This script has to delete only Store1_20051007_093658, Store2__20060110_111149...directories which has timestamp and which are 90 days old. Orders, Incoming, Outgoing, Store1,Store2...dirs can be 90 days old and they should not be deleted. I am doing something like this, but it's not working. find /Orders/* -type d -mtime +90 | grep -i [[:alnum:]]_[0-9]* Any help is highly appreciated.. Thanks, Siya

I just tried with this command and looks like it's working: Please let me know if you see a better way other than this: find /Orders/* -type d -mtime +90 -name "*_*" -exec rm -rf {} \;
