I am trying to delete all the files AND directories older than 30 days below
this path /edi4xxpgm/network/ix/ini but only got the files not the
directories.  Error on directory not empty.  What have I got wrong?

QSH
find /edi4xxpgm/network/ix/ini -mtime +30 -exec rm -d {} \;

And, what does the {} mean?
