Deleting old files using scripting

[Shravan shetty]

Hi All,

we have a requirement on deleting some old files (.TXT) from the agent(Windows) by running some jobs. we used to do this manually but now we need a job that can be executed every month and delete these old files.
Has anyone done it before? Can anyone provide us the script for this?

Regards,
Shravan Shetty

Hi Shravan,

We had done the same thing for Linux & AIX OS in our environment by using  a shell script.

Logic is very staright forward.
cd to folder where file resides and then look for the files older then n days (n is number of days) and run the delete command against to them.
