Hi,
my script:

while read LINE
do
echo $LINE | awk '{FS=":"} {print $1" " $2" " $3}' | read DIR FILEN
OLD
EDIR=$(eval echo $DIR)
[ ! -d $EDIR -o ! -w $EDIR ] && continue
find $EDIR -type f -name "$FILEN" -mtime +$OLD -exec ls {} \;
find $EDIR -type f -name "$FILEN" -mtime +$OLD -exec rm -f {} \;
done < $SCRIPTS_DIR/etc/mftab

if i wont to change rm -f with cp -p <source> <dest> where source is
the result of the find, how can i do?
thx

find ... -exec cp -p {} dest \;

BTW, it would be nice if the Subject actually described the post? I see
no use of exec in your script. Your question is about find.

'exec' as a find option.
