IML CLEANUP

Introduction

Delete files older N days in a start folder we oftened used several customized shell scripts using a find command.

The IML CLEANUP simply makes a splitting of logic and configuration data. It is easier to generate a small config file (especially if you use automation tools like puppet, ansible or chef) then handling several cleanup scripts.

How to get it work:

  • In the /etc/imlcleanup.d/ you can put (as many) configfiles you want
  • a shell script loops over all config files and performs the actions of all conf files.
  • you additionally need to create a cronjob to execute this script regulary (i.e. once per day)
