Cron command not working - (maybe Centminmod filters it)

Hi
I am using this command as a cron to clean old backups:

Code:

/usr/bin/find /backup/ -type d -mtime +1 -print0 | /usr/bin/xargs -0 /bin/rm -rf

When i run it from ssh it works but not on cron

My cron:

Code:

55 5 * * * /usr/bin/find /backup/ -type d -mtime +1 -print0 | /usr/bin/xargs -0 /bin/rm -rf

Cron log:

Code:

Mar 30 05:55:01 server CROND[9526]: (root) CMD (/usr/bin/find /backup/ -type d -mtime +1 -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf)

But after that i can see a folder with files there from Mar 28..

---

Any ideas?

Thanks

 

I did it but is not working

log:

Code:

Mar 30 14:45:01 server CROND[5828]: (root) CMD (/scriptb/cleanbackups.sh)

My cron:

Code:

45 14 * * * /scriptb/cleanbackups.sh

And my file cleanbackups.sh :

Code:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/find /backup/ -type d -mtime +1 -print0 | /usr/bin/xargs -0 /bin/rm -rf

And yes i chmod +x the file...

 

What a crazy thing is this?

It seems to run every 2 days ? as i sleep and then wake up an it was ok now the old folder missing with the old files inside....

 

I thought that -mtime +1 means to delete folder older than 1 day .....
