I've created script which delete old backup file from directory but this command was worked fine before 1 week and Nothing change on script or packages but still getting below error:

root@:# find /var/backups/abc/* -type d -mtime +6
/var/backups/abc/2016-03-09_0321

root@:~# find /var/backups/abc/* -type d -mtime +6 -exec rm -rf {} \;
find: `/var/backups/abc/2016-03-08_0321': No such file or directory 

Problem is that, this script run every day on cron, I getting a mail like " find: `/var/backups/abc/2016-03-08_0321': No such file or directory". files are deleted but such a mails are getting from root.

回答1:

find /var/backups/abc/* -type d -mtime +6 -prune -exec rm -rf {} \;

Here, we use -prune on the directories that we're about to delete, so find will then not try to read their contents.

回答2:

This is because of after having returned your directory, find will try to look in it (to continue his recursive search), and will fail because of you just removed it.
