- NPURGE: Network Purge V1.1
-
- This program is a replacement for the Novell 386 purge program. It purges
- deleted files from the system based on age of deletion.
-
-
- Syntax:
- npurge [-d <days>] [-h <hours>] [-m <minutes>] [-f] [-s] [-r] [<root>]
-
- -d <days> Specify target age in days
- -h <hours> Specify target age in hours
- -m <minutes> Specify target age in minutes
- -f Force file times to midnight (use with -d)
- -s Process Subdirectories
- -r Report only, do not purge files
- <root> The root directory at which to start the process.
-
-
- Requirements:
- Novell 386 version (including 3.11)
-
- The program must be run from a network drive.
-
- The logged on user must have access rights to purge the files found
- or the message "DENIED" will appear in front of files that cannot
- be purged.
-
-
- Remarks:
- Unless the -f option is used the age of a file is calculated up to the
- second. If you specify -d 1 then files that are 24 hours old or greater
- are purged. If you use the -f option to force file dates to midnight
- then the time of deletion becomes unimportant, just the date of deletion
- matters.
-
- The -d, -h and -m parameters are additive. Specifying -d 1 -m 10 sets the
- target age to 1 day and 10 minutes.
-
- There are no longer a default run, you must specify command line arguments.
-
-
- Examples:
-
- npurge -d 2 -s \
-
- Will purge all files there we're deleted 48 or more hours ago.
-
- npurge -d 7 -f -s \
-
- Will purge all files that we're deleted 7 or more days ago (regardless
- of the actual time of purge, only the date matters with -f)
-
- npurge -h 3 \user\steve
-
- Will purge all files that we're deleted 3 or more hours ago in the
- directory \user\steve, subdirectories are not processed (absence of -s).
