[ady2k]

I would like delete log files older than 30 days and use crontab to do it.
Any shell script expert can provide delete files older than 30 days script to me?
Thanks for advance....

Use the 'logrotate' utility. That's its specific function. You don't need to write this script.

man find.

One of the options can find those files, and then you -exec rm {}.

exec is also an option, and there probably be an example in the man page to do what you want.

This will delete files (by extension) older than 30 days.

# Remove files that are older than 30 days
0 1 * * * find /your/file/dir/*.ext -atime +30 -print | xargs rm
