Linux uses find to find files that last modified longer than three days and move to the specified directory

Usage scenarios: applications, such as Tomcat, generate new log files on a daily basis, taking a long time to consume a large number of disks and need to clean up these files on a regular basis.

The code is as follows:

Find/tomcat/logs/*.log-ctime +3-exec MV {}/tmp

You can also use Xargs to pass parameters

Find/tomcat/logs/*.log-ctime +3 | Xargs MV {}/tmp

Description: Moves a log file that has not been modified for more than 3 days in the specified directory to TMP.

If you want to delete it directly, change the command to the following:

Find/tomcat/logs/*.log-ctime +3-exec rm {} \;

Then set up scheduled tasks on the server and automatically clean up useless log information on a daily basis.
