CRON job to delete old files

Hello i want ot delete files older than 1 day i tried all this but nothing is working.

Code:

find /var/www/html/search/ -mtime +1 -exec rm {} \;

find /var/www/html/search -mtime +1 -type f -exec ls -la {} \;

/usr/bin/find /var/www/html/search \( -type f -a -mtime +1 \) -exec rm -f {} \; 


find . -name '*/var/www/html/search*' -atime +1 -delete


find /var/www/html/search -mtime +1


find /var/www/html/search/ -type f -mtime +1|xargs ls -l

the last one just gives me an output of the root directory.

 

Try this script:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
for file in "$( find /var/www/html/search/ -type f -mtime +1 )"
do
  rm -f $file
done

 

using xargs

this is what we have setup

Code:

find /home/log/Pr* -ctime +155 | xargs rm

 

Yes this is how i did it too the main problem i had was with filenames(special char. etc.)
