I am going to setup a cron job to delete all directories over one week old.

Is this the proper command to include?

find . -mtime +7 -exec ls -ld {} \;

I want to proceed with caution... since there is no easy undelete with Linux!

You might want to use "-type d" before the -exec also, to make sure it only comes back with directories. By default, it will show files, directories, symlinks, devices, pipes, sockets, etc. -- anything that exists. Use Care
