We use a number of QSH commands to clean the IFS of old log files produced by JD Edwards.
I have recently instituted a special backup to SAVF of sensitive files that we are having to open up to new users to maintain. These are created in library SAVFPRDDTA with names like CFG200922 (CFGyymmdd). I need to put in place some regular purges of these daily backups.
What I don't have a feel for is how common/accepted would it be to use QSH commands to clean up files in the traditional file system? We would be using something like 'find /QSYS.LIB/SAVFPRDDTA.LIB -type f -name 'CFG*.FILE' -mtime +60 -exec rm {} \;'. This works, but I've never seen it done or demoed (though I could well have missed the examples). I could do a traditional dump of DSPOBJ or DSPFD and process the records, but it's not in my nature to create temporary files when the system can handle them better than I can.
So, acceptable? Reasonable? I really prefer to not branch out into 'experimental' approaches and have no idea where this would fall in the IBM i world.
