Setup OpenMediaVault to delete any files 60 days old automatically

    I am wondering if there is a way to run command to automatically delete any files which are 60 days old or older and let say this command would be executed once a month or every 2nd month by the server...


    I have setup OpenMediaVault v.12 (Kralizec) and my DataDisk /dev/sdb1
    I setup in Shared Folder:
    CLPvideo
    Gaitlab
    Ghost


    I would like to have command that will delete any files which are 60 days or older from the CLPvideo folder


    I am not sure how I could do this in the OpenMediaVault. I there is a way could you please advice how I could do this?


    Thank you

    Hello,


    First thoughts : I would write a shell script which does that and put it on a crontab (you can also use scheduled tasks in OMV)...


    You can use for example this command :


    Code
    find /media/yourstorage/CLPvideo -mtime +60 -type f -delete


    Becareful with the find command and the -delete option !!! make sure this is the good folder and the good path !!!

    Thank you for the link but also it shows to me to use Google search as well as how lazy I am to use a search engine???
    Sorry, probably I didn't provide enough information when I asked for the command about to move files. Believe it or not Mr. davidh2k I do use Google search on regular basis every day. I would like to thank you for people like you who willing share information and willing help other like me to understand Linux better, I feel novice in Linux, because of this Forum I am able to understand better, discover new possibilities and I am able to manage OpenMediaVault product. Thank you again!


    I found commands to move files but I am not sure which one is correct one for my need.
    I could test it to figure it out... but I thought to ask on this Forum first and I am hoping I will get answer.


    Here it is my extended question:


    Should I use this one? find /media/yourstorage/CLPvideo -mtime +60 -type f -mv '{}' /media/yourstorage/CLPvideo_old


    or should I use this one? find /media/yourstorage/CLPvideo -mtime +60 -type f -exec mv '{}' /media/yourstorage/CLPvideo_old


    I don't understand what -exec means? Even I did search for it but it is not clear to me...

    exec executes the command you append to it for every file that the find command finds. ;)


    The use of xargs (you don't ask for that) may throw an error if there is no file found that fits your search terms. I haven't used '-mv' myself, so I can't answer what it does different thatn '-exec mv'


    Greetings

    I have tested today and it works for me great!


    this is the command I need for my needs: find /media/yourstorage/CLPvideo -mtime +60 -type f -exec mv '{}' /media/yourstorage/CLPvideo_old \;


    This shell command move any files which are 60 days old and older from /media/yourstorage/CLPvideo to /media/yourstorage/CLPvideo_old


    I thought to share with you.


    Thanks for your help
