Re: Cleanup IFS?

[Ron Adams <rondadams@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, I guess I should have been a little more specific.
 I have a TEMP folder on the IFS that is used by various utilities to create 
extracts/reports in various formats (PDF, CSV, TXT, etc), these files are 
usually downloaded right away or at the very least within 24 hours via a 
user submitting a job to send them. I want to delete (almost) everything in 
the TEMP folder that is older than a week. Is there a command or utility 
that I can use to do this?
