Thanks to Bill Hassell, Breet geer and Richard wright
all who gave very useful tips.

Question:I need to write a script, which captures all
the print
jobs older than 7 days and send a mail alert to the
admin.

Answers:

Bill:
Since a the print jobs are in the same directory
structure,
just use find -mtime +7 to locate the jobs. Something
like
this:

find /var/spool/lp/request -name 'dA*' -type f -mtime
+7
 
The result from this search wil return all files that
have
not been printed in the last 7 days. To mail the
results
there are files located:

#!/usr/bin/sh
set -u
export PATH=/usr/bin
MYFILES=$(find /var/spool/lp/request -name 'dA*' -type
f -mtime +7)
[ -n "$MYFILE" ] && echo "$MYFILE" \
   | mailx -s "Spool files > 7 days old"
sysadmin@yourcompany.com

Just store the above in a file, add it to cron and run
it once
a day, perhaps early in the morning.

-------------------------------------------------------
Here is a script that does almost exactly what you
want. 
It will warm about print jobs over one day old and
delete print jobs over a week old. 
========================================= 
#!/bin/sh 
# * lpdelete - Remove old files from spool queue and
notify * # 
# * USAGE: lpdelete.sh 
# 
# This script will run "lpstat" command and look at
all entries. 
# An email will be sent to "LP_mail" with a warning
for every file 
# over one day old. For every file over 7 days old,
the print job 
# will be canceled. These will be listed in the
message as well. 
# 
# * END 
PR=$(basename $0) 
tmp=/tmp/${PR}.$$ 
# 
# to see who "LP_mail" is, look at /etc/mail/aliases
and view the "include file" 
# 
TOADDR=LP_mail 
# if ctrl-c then remove the tmp file 
trap 'INTERPT' SIGINT 
INTERPT () 
{ 
        rm $tmp 
        exit 
} 
HOST=$(hostname) 
ERROR=0 
# 
# set DDCHK1 ... DDCHKn to days that are to be skipped
# in the format of MMM DD

YY=$(date "+%Y") 
DD=$(echo $DD | sed 's/^0//') 
Mon=$(date "+%b") 
DDCHK1="$Mon $DD " 
# Function routine to calculate the previous day 
previous_day () 
{ 
        ((DD = $DD - 1)) 
        if [ $DD -eq 0 ];then 
                ((MM = $MM - 1)) 
                if [ $MM -eq 0 ];then 
                        ((YY = $YY - 1)) 
                        MM=12 
                fi 
                DD=$(cal $MM $YY | tail -n2 | head -n1
| awk '{print $NF}') 
                Mon=$(cal $MM $YY | head -n1 | awk

The following print jobs are more than one day old. 
The printer may require attention for supplies or
jams. 
$(grep -v "$DDCHK1" ${tmp}) 
The following print jobs are more than seven days old
and have been deleted. 
$(grep -E -v
"($DDCHK1|$DDCHK2|$DDCHK3|$DDCHK4|$DDCHK5|$DDCHK6|$DDCHK7)"
${tmp}) 
The following printers are disabled 
$(lpstat -p | grep disabled) 
__EOF__ 
while read JB TO MM DD TI SZ 
do 
/usr/bin/cancel $JB 
done << __EOF2__ 
$(grep -E -v
"($DDCHK1|$DDCHK2|$DDCHK3|$DDCHK4|$DDCHK5|$DDCHK6|$DDCHK7)"
${tmp}) 
__EOF2__ 
rm ${tmp} 
exit
