Colin,

This looks like the goods.

I just changed the last line to read...
find /home/sites/www.domain.com.au/web/pdf -type f -ctime +15 | xargs rm
*.pdf

Assuming I put the correct 'www.domain.com.au' in the line instead, this
should delete all the files ending in '.pdf' if older than 15 days???

Now for possibly a stupid question, how can I, ummmmm, age some pdf files so
they are older than 15 days??? For testing purposes...
