<p>I run an OpenSuse server that uploads zipped source code backups to a Microsoft FTP server every night. I have written a Bash script that does this through a cron job.</p>

<p>I want to delete backed up files that are older than a certain date. How could I do this?</p>

```
```
IF object_id('a_table') IS NULL
BEGIN
    CREATE TABLE a_table (
        col1 int not null,
        col2 int null
    ) 
END
```
```
