Hi, I am trying to remove 30 days file from the templog directory by executing the following command but it says /usr/dt/bin/: Permission denied. `find /omcgen/metrica/DRI/templog -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \\;`; What other commands can I use besides this one? Thanks Nimi

The command itself looks fine, but you should leave out the backquotes: find /omcgen/metrica/DRI/templog -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \; (all on one line) This will search for all files in the directory /omcgen/metrica/DRI/templog and below that haven't been modified for more than 30 days and remove them. But: you will get error messages when you try to delete directories and when you try to remove files that you have no authorization for. Use find's option "-type f" to search for regular files only and rm's option -f to try extra hard to remove the files. find /omcgen/metrica/DRI/templog -type f -mtime +30 -exec rm -f {} \; This message was produced with 100% recycled electrons
