either way, I've just learn't something new as far as shellscripting goes :-) apart from the xargs command ... that still does my head in (don't worry I'll look it up ... for the umpteenth time).

find $lockfile -cmin +60 | xargs rm

FWIW, it's nicer to do: $ find $lockfine -cmin +60 -exec rm {} \; This method handles files with spaces in them, where are the xargs method does not (not that it matters in this case).

righto, good to know. -exec option of a find is one I still have to look up every time I use it (although I think I guess the syntax correctly ... once)
