Find command issue
 
I am using find to search for .tgz files modified more than 7 days ago and delete them.

find /directory/ -iname backup*.tgz -daystart -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \

My problem is that find will go through the content of tarball as well and list all content. I want to only search main tarball and delete it if older than 7 days.

Ummm ... if it does then it's because you told it to, and it's NOT
what the invocation above will do.



Cheers,
Tink

Directory I am searching is mounted NFS share. Can that cause the issue?

Problem solved. There was an issue with NFS server.
