很多時候備份通常會使用到基於日期來創建文件夾，對於這些日期文件夾下面又有很多子文件夾，對於這些日期文件整個移除，通過find結合rm或者delete顯得有些力不從心。本文提供一個簡單的小腳本，可以嵌入到其他腳本，也可直接調用，如下文供大家參考。
1、腳本內容
[root@SZDB ~]# more purge_datedir.sh
#!/bin/bash
# Author: Leshami
# Blog : http://www.linuxidc.com
RemoveDir=/log/hotbak/physical
dt=`date +%Y%m%d -d "3 day ago"`
for subdir in `ls $RemoveDir`;
do
if [ "${subdir}" \< "${dt}" ];
then
rm -rf $RemoveDir/$subdir >/dev/null
echo "The directory $RemoveDir/$subdir has been removed."
fi
done
2、演示
[root@SZDB ~]# ls /log/hotbak/physical
