    Question Automaticaly delete old files.

    Hello to all.
    I would like to make a cron job on my ubuntu machine.
    The machine has an account legitimate on WINDOWS 2003 server. I want to search the file server and if it finds a file 6 years old that has not be modified since then to delete it.
    So the actual question is how to write the rm command to do this job?
    Thank you in advance.

    It sounds like a dangerous thing to me. But if you're sure you want to proceed, use 'find'. See http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubunt...days-on-linux/ for an instruction to delete files older than x days.
