removing files / match criteria

Comment:

Hi all, I'm spendind hours trying to figure out how a script could remove files that are older than 30 days, matching some criteria in their names, in a specific volume and within different user folders. I'm thinking if calling all the user folders with a name starting with "RC-user..", so the removal script could skip the files and folders staring with this naming convention. Any help is more than welcome ! Cheers, H.

Have you considered the find command? It has an -mtime option for finding files greater than "X" number of days. Check out this miscellaneous find article: http://www.unixreview.com/documents... It describes how to ignore directories with find.
