I have this command that I run every 24 hours currently.
find /var/www/html/audio -daystart -maxdepth 1 -mtime +1 -type f -name "*.mp3" -exec rm -f {} \;
I would like to run it every 1 hour and delete files that are older than 1 hour. Is this correct:
find /var/www/html/audio -daystart -maxdepth 1 -mtime **+0.04** -type f -name "*.mp3" -exec rm -f {} \;
I am not sure of my use of the decimal number??
Thanks for any corrections.
OR could I just use -mmin 60? Is this correct?
I tried your test, good thing you suggested it. I got an empty result. I want all files OLDER than 60mins to be deleted! How can I do this?? Does my command actually do this?
What about -mmin
?
find /var/www/html/audio -daystart -maxdepth 1 -mmin +59 -type f -name "*.mp3" \ -exec rm -f {} \;
From man find:
-mmin n File's data was last modified n minutes ago.
Also, make sure to test this first!
... -exec echo rm -f '{}' \; ^^^^ Add the 'echo' so you just see the commands that are going to get run instead of actual trying them first.
