<div>This is a bit off topic because I am using gnuwin32 on Windows Server 2003 SP2, but I figured people here might be able to help. I've written a find command to find all xml files in a certain directory that are older than 20 minutes, and delete them. Here's the command:<br>
<br><font face="'courier new', monospace">C:\gnuwin32\GetGnuWin32\gnuwin32\bin\find.exe /mydir/*.xml -mmin +20 -exec rm -f {} \ ;</font><div><font face="'courier new', monospace"><br>

(FYI the reason I am calling the full path on find.exe is because the default "find" command points to the dos "find" command, and I don't want to mess with the PATH to fix this.)</div>
