[Koha] Autodelete backups older than 5days

[muiru james]

Hello

Thank you for finding time to reply to my question.
I have created a cron that runs at 1800hrs and executes a shell script i
have named badh.sh containg the syntax for doing a manual sql dump
(mysqldump -uroot -p**** /) which saves in the folder dropbox in the home
directory. This dropbox folder synchronises and uploads the new archives to
the cloud. I want to automatically delete the old backup files older than
five days thru a script which I'll add to the bash.sh script file.

Regards
