Lyrics - Remove old files, Check if file is in use before deleting

Remove old files

Remove files older than 10 days

 # find /tmp/tmpfiles* -mtime +10 -exec rm {} \;

Remove files starting with tmp[a to g]

 # find /tmp/tmp[a-g]* -mtime +10 -exec rm {} \;

Check files being used or not by using fuser

 #!/bin/bash
 for i in `ls -p /tmp/ | grep -v /` 
 do
 fuser $i
 exitstate=$?
 if [$exitstate -eq 0 ]
 then
  echo "$i the file is in use"
 else
  echo "$i is deleted"
  rm $i
 done

Count inodes in a directory
 # ll -R | wc -l
 
 # find /tmp -xdev -printf '%h/n' | sort | uniq -c | sort -k -1 -n | tail -10

 # { find /tmp -xdev -printf '%h/n' | sort | uniq -c | sort -k -1 -n ; } 2 > /dev/null
