[389-users] Deleting entries that are not modified recently

[Kimmo Koivisto]

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?

Regards,
Kimmo
