/etc/cron.daily/man typo????
/etc/cron.daily/man which comes with the man package reads:
--
# expunge old catman pages which have not been read in a week
find /var/catman -type f -name '*[1-9nlop].gz' -atime +168 | xargs rm -f
# expunge old catman pages which are older than one month
find /var/catman -type f -name '*[1-9nlop].gz' -mtime +720 | xargs rm -f
exit 0
--
The man page for find says that -atime will find files whose last access
was n*24 hours ago. So, if I am not very confused (quite probable), the
"-atime +168" above will only delete files which have not been accessed
for 168 days, not one week as the comment says it is intended to do.
Likewise, the "-mtime +720" will delete files older than 720 days, not
one month as its comment states.
