The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Sure here is an example:
## find file(s) older than 1 day in "/tmp" and "/home/dennis" remove
them also logging messages to a log file
find /tmp /home/alex -name "*.xls" -o -name "*.dat" -mtime +1
>>/tmp/find_log.txt 2>&1 | xargs rm -f >>/tmp/find_log.txt 2>&1
I would recommend doing the "find" first and review/test to make sure
it's finding the files you want to remove:
## List to screen
find /tmp /home/alex -name "*.xls" -o -name "*.dat" -mtime +1
## List to log file
find /tmp /home/alex -name "*.xls" -o -name "*.dat" -mtime +1
>>/tmp/find_log.txt 2>&1

Can anyone think of a simple way to find and delete all the files in the
IFS with a certain suffix? I.E. all the *.xls files, or the *.dat files.
Thanks!
