1) Bash script to delete folders older than "X" days in Linux

We have a folder named/var/log/app/that contains logs for 15 days, and we will delete folders older than 10 days.

$ ls -lh /var/log/app/ drwxrw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 1 23:52 app_log.01drwxrw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 2 23:52 app_log.02drwxrw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 3 23:52 app_log.03drwxrw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 4 23:52 app_log.04drwxrw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 5 23:52 app_log.05drwxrw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 6 23:54 app_log.06drwxrw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 7 23:53 app_log.07drwxrw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 8 23:51 app_log.08drwxrw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 9 23:52 app_log.09drwxrw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 10 23:52 app_log.10drwxrw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 11 23:52 app_log.11drwxrw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 12 23:52 app_log.12drwxrw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 13 23:52 app_log.13drwxrw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 14 23:52 app_log.14drwxrw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 15 23:52 app_log.15

The script deletes folders older than 10 days and sends a list of folders by mail.

You can change the value of-mtime X as needed. Also, please replace your email address with ours.

< $MESSAGErm $MESSAGE /tmp/folder.outfi 给 delete-old-folders.sh 设置可执行权限。 # chmod +x /opt/script/delete-old-folders.sh 最后添加一个 cronjob 自动化此任务。它于每天早上 7 点运行。 # crontab -e 0 7 * * * /bin/bash /opt/script/delete-old-folders.sh 你将看到类似下面的输出。 Application log folders are deleted older than 20 days+--------------------------------------------------------+Oct 11 /var/log/app/app_log.11Oct 12 /var/log/app/app_log.12Oct 13 /var/log/app/app_log.13Oct 14 /var/log/app/app_log.14Oct 15 /var/log/app/app_log.152）在 Linux 中删除早于 "X" 天的文件的 Bash 脚本 我们有一个名为 /var/log/apache/ 的文件夹，其中包含15天的日志，我们将删除 10 天前的文件。 以下文章与该主题相关，因此你可能有兴趣阅读。 如何在 Linux 中查找和删除早于 "X" 天和 "X" 小时的文件？ 如何在 Linux 中查找最近修改的文件/文件夹 如何在 Linux 中自动删除或清理 /tmp 文件夹内容？ # ls -lh /var/log/apache/ -rw-rw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 1 23:52 2daygeek_access.01-rw-rw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 2 23:52 2daygeek_access.02-rw-rw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 3 23:52 2daygeek_access.03-rw-rw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 4 23:52 2daygeek_access.04-rw-rw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 5 23:52 2daygeek_access.05-rw-rw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 6 23:54 2daygeek_access.06-rw-rw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 7 23:53 2daygeek_access.07-rw-rw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 8 23:51 2daygeek_access.08-rw-rw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 9 23:52 2daygeek_access.09-rw-rw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 10 23:52 2daygeek_access.10-rw-rw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 11 23:52 2daygeek_access.11-rw-rw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 12 23:52 2daygeek_access.12-rw-rw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 13 23:52 2daygeek_access.13-rw-rw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 14 23:52 2daygeek_access.14-rw-rw-rw- 3 root root 24K Oct 15 23:52 2daygeek_access.15 该脚本将删除 10 天前的文件并通过邮件发送文件夹列表。 你可以根据需要修改 -mtime X 的值。另外，请替换你的电子邮箱，而不是用我们的。 # /opt/script/delete-old-files.sh #!/bin/bashprev_count=0fpath=/var/log/apache/2daygeek_access.*find $fpath -type f -mtime +15 -exec ls -ltrd {} \; >

Set executable permissions for delete-old-files.sh

# chmod +x /opt/script/delete-old-files.sh

Finally add a cronjob to automate this task. It runs every morning at 7:00.

# crontab -e 0 7 * * * /bin/bash /opt/script/delete-old-folders.sh

You will see output similar to the one below.
