Command not working "find * -name "*exp.log" -mtime +2 -exec rm {} \;"

Hello friends,

I am trying to implement retention of two days in a directory in Linux box. I have implemented below code to achieve. This code works fine in AIX, however the same code does not work on Linux OS. Can somebody let me know here I am going wrong:

find * -name "*exp.log" -mtime +2 -exec rm {} \;

find /backups/oradata/${ORACLE_SID}/LEN_DP_DIR/* -name '*exp.log' -mtime +2 -exec rm {} \;

Would appreciate your response.

Thanks

It would be better to use -delete instead of exec rm {}.

find /backups/oradata/${ORACLE_SID}/LEN_DP_DIR/*  -mtime +2 -name "*.log" -delete

Use -print to check.
