4. Searching for files over 30 days old in current directory


find $PWD -type f -mtime +30 -print|grep -Ev "$PWD/.*/"
find $DIR -type f -atime +30 print
find . -mtime +30 \( ! -name . -prune \)
find -maxdepth 1
find . -type d -name .svn -prune -false -o -type f

5. Delete 30 days old file


#!/bin/sh
i="/pat/to/dir/you/wanna/check/"
msg () {
for i
do echo "clearing: $i" >&2
done
}
fatal () { msg "$@"; exit 1; }
if [ ! -d "$i" ]
then msg "no directory: $i"
elif [ ! -r "$i" -o ! -w "$i" ]
then msg "access denied (no rw- access): $i"
else
# search & destroy

find "$i" ! -type d -mtime +30d -print | xargs rm -f > /dev/null 2>&1
[ -d "$i" ] || continue
(cd $i || continue
for d in *
do
[ -d "$d" ] || continue
find . -depth -type d -mtime +30d -print |
xargs rmdir > /dev/null 2>&1
done
)
fi
exit 0

This works for me to delete files 30 days old from directory $i in depth
