[rt-users] rm sessiondata from crontab...

[Bob Apthorpe]

Hi,

Also, for efficiency/reliability purposes you might want to try:

/usr/bin/find /opt/rt2/WebRT/sessiondata -type f -amin +600 -print |
/usr/bin/xargs -i /bin/rm '{}'

IIRC, -exec is kind of a resource hog. xargs gets around limits on 
number of arguments because -exec can crap out if the number of 
files returned is large. xargs is pretty useful but not well advertised.

hth,
