I wrote this simple script to clean /tmp on a monthly basis |
|
but I soon added other directories. |
|
|
|
#!/bin/sh |
|
|
|
set -e |
|
|
|
# Script to clean directories. The ls -A means that it does not |
|
# list . & .. |
|
# |
|
# BIG FAT WARNING: rm -rf is potentially dangerous. Use this at |
|
# your own risk! |
|
|
|
# Directories to clean. |
|
|
|
TRASH="/home/chals/.local/share/Trash/files" # Trash in Xfce |
|
DIR_TO_CLEAN1="/home/chals/tmp" |
|
DIR_TO_CLEAN2="/tmp" |
|
|
|
# Where to write the log file. |
|
|
|
LOG_FILE="/home/chals/clean.log" |
|
|
|
# Let's do it! |
|
|
|
for DIR in ${TRASH} ${DIR_TO_CLEAN1} ${DIR_TO_CLEAN2} |
|
do |
|
if [ "$(ls -A ${DIR})" ] |
|
then |
|
rm -rf ${DIR}/* && rm -rf ${DIR}/.??* > /dev/null 2>& |
|
echo "$(date) Cleaning ${DIR} :) " >> ${LOG_FILE} |
|
else |
|
echo "$(date) Nothing to be done, ${DIR} is empty :( |
|
fi |
|
done |
