- Short: DayDelete 1.11 - Delete files (+/-)x days old
- Author: jthorsen@netpower.no
- Uploader: jthorsen@netpower.no
- Type: util/cli
- Replaces: util/cli/DayDelete.lha
- Version: 1.11
-
-
- DayDelete is email-ware, which means that if you like it I would really like to receive a mail from
- you telling me so.
- DayDelete is just a small util that will let you delete -x days old files from a directory.
-
- USAGE:
- daydelete NUMBER_OF-DAYS/N,SOURCE_DIR/A,OLDER/S,QUIET/S
-
- NUMBER_OF_DAYS - How many days old files to delete
- SOURCE_DIR - Source-dir
- OLDER - delete only older than x-days old files, delete newer is default.
- LIST - Do not delete files, only list them.
- QUIET - Do not ask questions, this is smart to use in scripts where
- you don't want the program to wait for your response.
-
-
- example:
- daydelete 0 store:tmp/ ;This will delete todays files from store:tmp/.
-
- daydelete 50 store3:tmp/ OLDER LIST ;This will list files in store3:tmp/ that are
- older than 50 days. It can be quite smart to
- use the LIST switch to display the affected files
- before you actually start deleting them, and then
- afterwards start daydelete without the LIST switch
- to actually delete the files.
-
-
- This should be quite simple to figure out I guess, but if you are stuck feel free to
- send me a mail.
-
- DayDelete is part of a serie of smart little tools. You should also check out the
- following utils released by me (in aminet/util/cli/):
-
- DayCopy
- DayMove
- DayList
-
- And also these utils will be released in the near future:
-
- SizeCopy
- SizeDelete
- SizeMove
- SizeList
-
-
- Version History:
-
- 1.11 Now uses raw-mode for input, so the input will not be put in the CON's history.
- Reported by Stefan Schulz
-
- 1.1 DayDelete will no-longer display the deleted files if the QUIET switch is used.
- Suggested by Gottfried Janik.
-
- 1.0 First public release
- Will check to see if the file is protected from deletion and let you decide if
- if you want to un-protect it.
