linux Find command not working through crontab

Question

I am using the command given below to delete the 2 days old data from the folder. The command works fine when I run this through directly terminal but not working through crontab entry.

find /backup/DWHPROD/ -type f -mtime +1 -exec rm -r {} \;

Crontab Entry:

30 16 * * * find /backup/DWHPROD/ -type f -mtime +1 -exec rm -r {} \;

Answer 1

Please run the command in your terminal:

which find

I am having find located at /usr/bin/find .

Try adding that in your crontab script

30 16 * * * /usr/bin/find /backup/DWHPROD/ -type f -mtime +1 -exec rm -r {} \;
