RE: Deleting files from O/S older than 6 hours

Since these files are not that important since they can be deleted after 6 hours? can you just create subdirectory and move all the files to the subdirectory and then every 6 hours remove the files in the subdirectory and then move the files from the parent directory?  

rm /.../parent/subdir/*

mv /.../parent/*.ext /.../parent/subdir/

Yes, I am using this option now.

Another problem is get the date/time for creating file 6hours before time.

Currently I managed to do this by doing to_char(sysdate-6/24,'mmddhh24mi') in sqlplus and getting value in unix shell variable. Is there any way I can minus 6 hours from current date/time in unix and get in format mmddhh24mi ?

Thanks for your help

may be there is option -newer on HP-UX (I don't have any such box here) - if so, one can touch fake file with proper time Then find will operate on files newer than fake file
