I look for the Unix command that remove the files from the current directory which are more than 7 days old. Could you help me. Thanks in advance

You can use the 'find' command for this. I don't remember the syntax for how to do this but have an example at work. I'll look next time I go in. Probably tomorrow but possibly not until Monday.

The answer to a post about 4 below this has the basics of what you want to do. See: http://www.computing.net/unix/wwwboard/forum/2372.html (Need Help writing UNix script) Note the -atime parameter, there are other parameters that can be used to check different types of time. For example, -ctime checks the create time I believe and mtime checks the last modified time, etc.

This will delete all the files accessed more than 7 days ago. find -depth -atime +7 -exec rm {} ; Before you run the above replace rm with ls -l and run to see what files will be deleted. good luck

The first parameter needs to be pathname (which is a dot in following example to specify the current directory). And the semicolon will need to be escaped by preceeding it with a backslash: find . -depth -atime +7 -exec rm {} \;
