I have a cron job that looks for files in /tmp and other directories that are more than X days old so that they go away and don't keep piling up. Every few days, I get a message like:
------- Forwarded Message Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2004 10:51:00 CST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED](Cron Daemon) Subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> find /var/tmp -name NOTESTS -mtime +1 -exec rm -f {} \; find: /var/tmp/okstate.zone.32220: No such file or directory My guess is that find expands the tree but the temporary file is gone by the time the find command actually executes the rm command. The messages are purely random as to the file name and directory. Thanks.
