Hi All, Please I have this script to purge files from a folder that are older than a specified date. #!/bin/ksh ROOTDIR=/interface/gunner export ROOTDIR exec 2>&1 exec 9<&0 exec 0<$ROOTDIR/Logfiles.con while read age pattern do case A$age in A\#*) ;; A) ;; *) path=`dirname "$pattern"` find $path -path "$pattern" -mtime +$age -exec echo {} \; -exec rm -rf {} \; 2>&1 ;; esac done exec 0<&9 exec 9<&- In the logfiles.con should be something like this: #Days Pattern #to keep 7 /interface/DU1.* 7 /interface/DU2.* 7 /interface/DU3.* 7 /interface/DU4.* Could someone please interpret this to me? Thanks Kayzone

Hi, Still me,if you have a different solution,please send it to me, I need to purge all files older than say 7days in a folder that contains subfolders and files. The script looks into the root folders, check each and every subfolder and files, and checks the last modified date(mtime +$n),based on that, it removes(purges) the files(rm -rf). Thanks Kayzone
