To delete old files in unix, you can execute the following command from the shell:
find <path> -mtime +30 -exec rm -f {} \;
For example, to delete all file more than 30 days older:
find /tmp -mtime +30 -exec rm -f {} \;
About FIND command:
NAME
find - find files
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/find path... expression
/usr/xpg4/bin/find path... expression
DESCRIPTION
The find utility recursively descends the directory hierar-
chy for each path seeking files that match a Boolean expres-
sion written in the primaries given below.
find will be able to descend to arbitrary depths in a file
hierarchy and will not fail due to path length limitations
(unless a path operand specified by the application exceeds
PATH_MAX requirements).
for more info, type "man find" from your shell.
