Cron to delete particular file(s) from a specific directory

Question

I have class StatusesInvestmentRow (from dataSource) where one of the field is ModifiedDate

Investment table:

Id int PK;
ModifiedDate datetime;

How can I sort this arrayby this date?

I found example with IComparable but StatusesInvestmentRow has DataRow type so it is not good way I think.

I have this and I can't change this:

  statInw = new GetAllInvestmentStatuses();

I want add something like:

  var newestStatusInvestment = statInv.Sort(comparerByDate)[0];

Solution 1

Try the find command.

find /somedir1/somedir2 -name *.txt -name *.log -mtime 2w -delete

Change -delete to -print for a dry run.

Solution 2

You could also leverage tmpwatch http://linux.die.net/man/8/tmpwatch, using whichever parameters of atime, ctime, or mtime suit your needs.

For example, tmpwatch --atime 30d /foo will remove all files in /foo that haven't been accessed in 30 days.

The find command does everything you need. man find

Those select functions return DataRow[]
