Re: Reading every file in a directory

in reply to Reading every file in a directory

I'm really tired and maybe missing something, but is there any reason you can't just run this in the shell?

 find /path/to/dir -mtime +5 -type f|xargs rm

If the files are only getting updated when the user last logs in then that's a perfectly acceptable solution and doesn't involve you having to parse the files in question.
