A 'find' script is what I just ended up setting up.<br>
hostdata contains copies of client reports, which depending on the
client can be quote large... AFAIK there is no way of using them for
anything other than manually viewing on the filesystem. I decided to
keep 10% of them (the ones ending in 0) just in case...<br>
<br>
#!/bin/sh<br>
# number of days of logs to retain on disk<br>
RETAINDAYS=30<br>
export `bbcmd env 2>/dev/null | grep BBVAR=`<br>
HOSTDATA=${BBVAR}/hostdata<br>
find $HOSTDATA -type f \! -name \*0 -mtime +$RETAINDAYS -delete<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="white-space: pre;">> That's essentially what I'd
thought of doing but I just wanted to check if there was a built
in way of doing it before I went ahead and wrote a script to run
that kind of command.<br>
