Now that's much more efficient than what I was planning on doing. And
if you wanted to run this across a number of directories you could use
a for loop such as:
for directory in $BASEPATH ; do
$FIND $BASEDIR -mtime +$DAYSTOKEEP -exec $COMMAND {} \;
done
Where your variable BASEPATH would contain a list of directories such as:
BASEPATH="/home/james/ /home/steve/ /home/mary/"
And of course add the recursive switch (-r or -R, either works) to the
rm command (so COMMAND="rm -rf" if you wanted it to be applied to all
subdirectories below the target directory.
