How to delete logs size greater than 100 mb in unix-CodePudding

I want to delete logs which was greater than 100 mb and it should not return or delete current >month logs

CodePudding user response：

Using (GNU) find & date:

find /path -type f -size  100M -mtime  $(date --date=yesterday  %d) -delete

where /path is where your logs are located. -mtime $(date --date=yesterday %d) means any files last modified more than day of month as of yesterday.

Make sure you test this before you use it, say, by using -ls to print the files instead of deleting them, or prompt before deleting each file with -exec rm -i {} \;.

CodePudding user response：

With find you can use age and size filters and then RM.

find /path/to/files -mtime 30 -size 100M -exec rm {}

I haven't tested it
