Given that I am running a Samba filesystem and have a
directory visible to the windoze users that is a
'common' area, what comand could I use to
enforce a 14 day storage period before a mandatory erasure
occurs? The file time stamps sometimes are waaaaay in the past
if someone copies a historic file there so another someone can access it.
Yet this historic file should remain in the 14daytemp directory for the
14 day grace period
I would like to run a cron job with something like
find /tempdir -ctime +14 -delete {}
but testing this with -print seems to miss some files I reckon
should be clobbered....
Should I do something like
ll > somefile
...
(14days later )
diff ll somefile (syntax ?)
delete anything that pops out from the 14day old ll capture
cheers
