Hi ,

This sample script will help.

#!/bin/ksh

tdir=<Set the directory frokm which you want to delete the files"

find $tdir/ -mtime +<How many Hours OLD file> -exec rm -f {} \;

Create a script with above code and schedule it in crontab.

Eg:

I want to delete 30 days old files from work directory, i'll use script something like below.

#!/bin/ksh

tdir=/usr/sap/SID/DEVMGS**/work

find $tdir/ -mtime +720 -exec rm -f {} \;

Similar way setup for the cron ..!!
