| Post subject: | Script to delete unused maps |
Because the workshop doesn't manage map collections very well, our custom map server has a lot of unused maps in it. These would be maps that maybe I added to the collection and then later removed. I would like to create a script, executable through crontab, that deletes files, and hopefully their parent directories, if the file has not been accessed in a particular amount of time. I'm thinking I would just scan for files by Access date, then delete files, then scan for empty directories, then delete them. Would this work? |

It looks like the relevant command would be Code: find ./directory -atime +N -exec rm {} \;
where N is the number of days ago that you would want it to have been accessed last. Eg, +10 would give you a list of all files that have been accessed 10 or more days ago. It would then execute a removal command for those files.Now all I have to figure out is how to delete empty subdirectories. |

Alright, it looks like I can delete empty directories using this command: Code: find . -empty -type d -deleteLast step is figuring out how to get this together into a useful script. |

Current script delete.sh: Jero, can you fact check this before I execute it and fubar my maps? Code: #!/bin/bash
find ~/go/*/csgo/maps/workshop -atime +14 -exec rm {} \;
sleep 5
find ~/go/*/csgo/maps/workshop -empty -type d -delete

Looks okay, even though I haven't touched a Linux console in months. You could just move them to an "unused" directory instead of deleting them. |

Well, they will just redownload if they're actually part of the compilation but not being used. (eg, if there is a map on the server but maybe it's less popular). Then I'd have tons of duplications. |
