Configuration Files
In the /etc/imlcleanup.d/ folder can be several configurations - one per cleanup job.
Example
First of all an example:
dir = /your/starting/path
filemask = *.log,*.gz
maxage = 180
maxdepth =
deleteemptydirs = 1
runas = root
Syntax
- Variable name starts in first column (no starting spaces)
- followed by space + “=” + space
- followed by value without any quoting
Variables
| Variable | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| dir | {string} your starting path for the scan | Y |
| filemask | {string} filemask(s) | Y |
| maxage | {int} max age of a file in days | Y |
| maxdepth | {int} max recursion level | n (empty is default = no restriction) |
| deleteemptydirs | {bool} flag (0 or 1) | n (0 is default = do NOT delete empty folders) |
| runas | {string} unix user to run | n (root is default) |
For dir and filemask you can set multiple values: use a comma “,” to separate them.
The not required variables can be absent to use its default.
The runas value can be used to switch into a user context. The scan + deletion then is limited to that user access. It is done with su - [username] -c [command] - so that user needs a login shell.
My First Config File
To start make a copy of the example file in /etc/imlcleanup.d/ and name it [your-task].conf. The extension *.conf will be scanned by default.
Remark: It means by renaming a config to .bak (or whatever) is a simple way to disable a job.
