Re: Delete IFS files > x min old

Thank you for that. I often respond to off list requests by re-including the list so that everyone sees the answer. That's the power of the list!!

I received an off-list request regarding writing and compiling my script.

The script itself is just a plain text file, in my case called purgeTmp.sh. I created it using RDi, but I'm sure you could also create it using 5250 or iNav. The file itself only contains a single line:
find /tmp/ -mmin +5 | xargs rm

The script doesn't have to be compiled, it's interpreted at runtime. It could be ran interactively thru a PASE shell, but I need it from CL. Here's that command (this assumes the script file is in your current directory, otherwise the second parm would need to be a fully-qualified path):
CALL PGM(QP2SHELL) PARM('/QOpenSys/bin/sh' 'purgeTmp.sh')

That worked.

I made a script:
find /tmp/ -mmin +5 | xargs rm

And then used QP2SHELL to execute it:
CALL PGM(QP2SHELL) PARM('/QOpenSys/bin/sh' 'purgeTmp.sh')


Thanks guys!
