cron to delete after executing

Question

I have a cron job which unzips a file and executes it. The cron is set to unzip, execute and delete the .zip file after. It's executing fine but it's not deleting the file. Here's the cron:

/usr/bin/wget -q -nd --delete-after 'url of plugin to execute the file'

I tried to add a second cron which would delete the files that are older than 15 days from the folder but this seems to "bother" the first cron to execute properly.

The second cron I used was:

/usr/bin/find /directory/ -mtime +15 -exec /bin/rm {} \; > /dev/null 2>&1

Answer 1

I'd do something like this:

#!/bin/sh
# 

/usr/bin/wget -q -nd --delete-after 'url of plugin to execute the file'
if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
  /usr/bin/find /directory/ -mtime +15 -exec /bin/rm {} \; > /dev/null 2>&1
fi

feel free to modify it for your needs
