Cron Job Newbie help - Checkpoint Firewall mgmt server cleaning up logs

superman100

Can someone help me finalize this cron job. The goal is to have fully automated cron job which runs weeknights @ 4am doing a search for any logs older than 50 days and larger than 1mb and deletes them. 0 4 * * 1,2,3,4,5 find /opt/CPsuite-R77/fw1/log -size +1000k -mtime +50 -name "*.log" -exec rm -r {} \; Logs are located in the following directory /opt/CPsuite-R77/fw1/log

Verities

So if you want to create a cron job for a specific user (other than yourself) you can do:

sudo crontab -e -u username

If you look at the man pages you can see some explanations on how to configure times/dates:

man 5 crontab

You can do a simple 1-5 to cover weekdays:

0 4 * * 1-5 find /opt/CPsuite-R77/fw1/log -size +1000k -mtime +50 -name "*.log" -exec rm -r {} \;

If you want to add a user its just:

useradd username

To set the password

passwd username

Never used "Gai", can't help you there.
