Hello
This was what I needed to search entries:
ldapsearch -x -b xx -D xxx -w xxx
"(&(cn=*)(modifytimestamp<=2009092513000000Z)(objectclass=person))"
But then, how to pipe ldapsearch and ldapdelete to delete the result
dn's of ldapsearch?
specify "dn" as the attribute to return - just add it to the end of
the
command line - also add -LLL to the ldapsearch command line to make it
less verbose
you will then have output like
dn: somedn
blank line
repeat.....
You will have to use sed/awk/perl to strip the "dn: " from the DNs, and
ignore the blank lines

Kimmo
