I have an example code here. Though I need to create a code that needs to loop/terminate as soon as the creation_date is created the cutoff_date (less than 31days is terminated.)
Code I am trying to explain: Cutoff_date = Todays_date - 31
For each file
If creation_date < cutoff_date
delete file
End If statement
End For each loop
Example code:
#!/sbin/sh
touch -t `date +"%m%d%H%M.%S"` timefile
sleep 5 #sleep 5 seconds
touch timefile2
echo `find ./ -type f -newer timefile`
With the example code..instead of -newer, I want to replace it with -lesser (or some sort of less command here). Hopefully someone can help me out! :o)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
