| - | ===== Delete Files Older Than x Days on Linux ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | The find utility on linux allows you to pass in a bunch of interesting arguments, including one to execute another command on each file. We’ll use this in order to figure out what files are older than a certain number of days, and then use the rm command to delete them. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Command Syntax | ||
| - | |||
| - | find /path/to/files* -mtime +5 -exec rm {} \; | ||
| - | |||
| - | Note that there are spaces between rm, {}, and \; | ||
| - | |||
| - | Explanation | ||
| - | |||
| - | * The first argument is the path to the files. This can be a path, a directory, or a wildcard as in the example above. I would recommend using the full path, and make sure that you run the command without the exec rm to make sure you are getting the right results. | ||
| - | * The second argument, -mtime, is used to specify the number of days old that the file is. If you enter +5, it will find files older than 5 days. | ||
| - | * The third argument, -exec, allows you to pass in a command such as rm. The {} \; at the end is required to end the command. | ||
