weird in find -exec command

Hi, I have two scripts that remove files. One works fine and is coded

Code: find -name "syst*" -mtime +1 -exec rm {} \; The other is almost the same - only thing missing is the '\'.

Hi , I imported find command I have on my hp-ux server to clean up the /tmp of my new IBM AIX servers. Though, the commands always fails in the cron but if I past it at the prompt, it works find.

Hi, I am trying to make a script that finds if inside a folder there are more than 2 subfolders; if so, I want to erase the older subfolder.

I thought this would be useful:

Code: find /sdcard/backup -mtime +1 -exec rm-r {} /; But it only erases subfolders older than one day, and I would want that subfolders get erased if there are more than two, even if none of them is older than one da

I have a bash script, exec.sh like

some command expect test.exp continue other command

Hi ,

I am adding a line in my shell scripts to delete all the old directory with the below command. On running this command it is coming out with the message find: incomplete statement

I created a script,

Code: size=`du -sm` size=`echo $size | sed 's/.$//'` size1='30720' if [ $size -gt $size1 ] then { find /ask/tarballs -type f -name "*.tgz" -mtime +30 -exec ls -l {} \; find /ask/tarballs -type f -name "*.tgz" -mtime +30 -exec rm -f {} \; } else echo "Directory size doesnt exceed Threshold Limit" fi ============== which is in th

i want to remove *.req files from directory /opt/FFCL8001/oracle/inst/apps/FFCL8001_lhrho/logs/appl/conc/log

i executed command find . -name '*.req' -mtime +2 -exec rm {} \;

but it is running since hours and free space in /opt is same as old 7.4 GB .

why it is not removing files ?

Suppose I have a directory structure as follows

test test/a test/b

Now I want to execute a command, such that in the . folder I can execute a command on the basename of the files a and b.

So basically, I want something like this, which I naively tried

find test -type f -exec touch `basename {}` \;

Only, this does not result in empty files a and b in the parent directory.
