I didn't test this, but it should be fairly close. It deletes all files that haven't been accessed in 60 days (change -atime to -mtime if you want files that haven't been modified)
midrange.com
STRQSH CMD('find /my/dir -atime +60 -exec {} \;')
Or, you could do it this way... it runs faster, but is limited in the
amount of files it can handle at once:
STRQSH CMD('find /my/dir -atime +60 | xargs rm')
Is calling QShell in this manner elegant? It depends on your point of
view. It certainly is easy. Error handling isn't good, however. It
requires QShel. Probably doesn't perform very well (especially the first
option I listed).
But, it's a lot easier than writing a tool that uses the APIs to do the same thing. (And then when you do write such a tool, someone else posts the QShell method and gets all the credit and gets told that his solution is better than the one that I worked hard to provide.)

OK, so this will combine 2 of the last topices Here my challenge with IFS files. I'd like to select all files in an IFS directory that are older than 60 days from today. Once selected, delete them. My CL is very ugly at this time. (No I won't show it!) What's an elegant way of doing this?
