Hi,
I am creating a script to do a file backup but I am having isues with cleaning out the older backups..
Basically each backup goes into a seperate directory named by date and time and I want to remove the directories that are 15 days or more old.. there will probably be 3 to 4 backups per day..
The command that should do its is..
find /backups/fcws/ -mtime +15 -maxdepth 1 -type d -exec rm -rf {};The problem is that because there are currently no directories to delete I get the error..
find: missing argument to `-exec'
Anyone got any ideas? to avoid this?
Otherwise I am going to have to create an "if" routine to test first if there are any to delete and if there are then run the command otherwise skip it..
Later..
