findNclean

findNclean created to automate filesystem cleaning and/or file searching.

You can use it as 'find' superstructure to run/schedule multiple heavy and optimized commands at the same time with logging of all found files.

You can set find and/or move options in specific config and then run single simple command or create multiple cron jobs for all configurations you need. Find action heavily rely on 'find', so it's fast enough. Bash builtins extensively used, so dependencies list is short enough. It designed to support ancient environments (like CentOS 5.5) but to use features of modern envs (like Ubuntu 16.04) if possible.

For more info just run it without arguments. For even more info see the code ;)!
