Hi Everybody
every time the webmin shows a full Local disk space, I have to empty the ORIG folder which requires logging through winscp, then taking this path : /root/var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE/ORIG because it contains all the voice recording so it is the main reason the memory is full
the problem is it takes a long time to open the folder and then to select all the items and deleting them, as winscp often loses connexion with the server so I have to reconnect again and again.
Is there any way to empty it by a written command directly through the server or putty or any similar software??
Thank you in advance

Don't you have similar lines in your crontab?
- Code: Select all
### VICIDIAL clean ORIG recordings older than 3 days
0 1 * * * /usr/bin/find /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE/ORIG -maxdepth 1 -type f -mtime +3 -print | xargs rm -f

Another question came to my mind:
with this command how long does it take to delete the contents? is it instantly or does it take the same time? does it require server rebooting?
the 3 stars (***) in the command line, do they mean something specific, should I replace them by some other values, or should I just copy paste it to the server/putty??

crontab -e
with this command how long does it take to delete the contents?
Several seconds, depending how many and how large the files are.
does it require server rebooting
No.
the 3 stars (***) in the command line, do they mean something specific

Dear Okli
thank you for the prompt reply and for chapters to consult
it is a huge world I am getting into.
in the meanwhile, is there any possibility I can have the command line to empty the orig file every friday at any given time??, let's say at 01:00 PM???

Simplest way to do it manually is running the following command on the server:
rm -rf /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE/ORIG/*
This will delete all files in /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE/ORIG/.

Look and edit for the following entry in your crontab:
### remove old vicidial logs and asterisk logs more than 2 days old
28 0 * * * /usr/bin/find /var/log/astguiclient -maxdepth 1 -type f -mtime +2 -print | xargs rm -f
29 0 * * * /usr/bin/find /var/log/asterisk -maxdepth 3 -type f -mtime +2 -print | xargs rm -f
30 0 * * * /usr/bin/find / -maxdepth 1 -name "screenlog.0*" -mtime +4 -print | xargs rm -f
Adapt to your current settings.

Looks like you have tonnes of recording. Hehehe! Try this instead:
rm -rf /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE/ORIG/
mkdir /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE/ORIG/
This will delete the ORIG folder and all it's contents and then recreate just the folder.

http://bfy.tw/LdyVthis should provide results showing both "older than" and "in the last", so choose wisely at that point.
