Looking for logic or comand to delete files older than particular time(say 7.59)


Hi All,

I have particular requirement like deleting the files older than 17th Jan before 7.59am ( Its very particular about the time). I can delete particular date older files but how do i get to delete older than particular time. If any one has any logic or command to do this in Korn shell please let me know.

-Thanks in advance.
Anand.
