Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. I've kept the xargs call, since -delete isn't POSIX standard either, but removed the cd command as suggested. Thanks!

It seems to me that there is no need to cd to the directory, nor to pipe to xargs, to accomplish the goal; couldn't it be rewritten: find /path/to/sessions -cmin +24 -delete ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53089&edit=1
