The .NeXTtrash directory never gets emptied unless done so manually.
As weekly routine I would like to clean out all the .NeXTtrash
directories of files are more than a week old.  When I give the find
command the option

	-name .NeXTtrash/*.* 

it complains for I believe that -name can only take the name of a file
and not directory information.

Does someone have a good way of cleaning .NeXTtrash directories automatically?

Thanks.
