Write Your Own Method of Script for below Scenario

• Scenario: Everyday from Monday to Friday one directory will be created under /fullbackup/dailybackup/YYYY-MM-DD and it will move backup to its parent directory everyday midnight /fullbackup/archive/, However Saturday, Sunday and Monday directories will move to /fullbackup/archive path every monday evening.

• Directory Names Example: 2018-12-24 2018-12-25 2018-12-26 2018-12-27 2018-12-28

• Question: I would like to delete directories older than two days from /fullbackup/archive path. How do you do it using any scripting methods.

• Problem Statement: I was trying to use find /path/ -type d -mtime +2 -print0 | xargs -r0 rm --. This command does not work as expected due to directory modified date for SAT, SUN and MON moved directories same for all as Monday date.

• How Do you solve it.?? Write Shell Script to accomplish this task. Should run through crontab and clear directories older than two days.
