Message-ID: <20030127095828.GA23742@fede2.tumsan.fi> (raw)
i have several dirs and i want to delete the ones that are older than
60 days.
currently im doing it like this:
find /path/backups-* -type d -mtime +60 | xargs rm -r
but i dont want to go through the CONTENTS of the dirs and delete every
individual file that is older than 60d. i want to either delete or not
delete the whole dir depending on its timestamp.
but i only know of find that accepts something as spiffy as -mtime +60,
and i cant find any options for it like "--non-recursive".
any suggestions?
basically this is for removing outdated backups.
