Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Delete file from folder Post 302366991 by tjmannonline on Saturday 31st of October 2009 08:00:57 AM

let says, you have folder:

/tmp

and subfolders /tmp/test1 and /tmp/test1

content in your filename looks like this:

/tmp/test1
/tmp/test2

while loop will read line, and cd $line which means cd /tmp/test1 and rm -f *.dec in /tmp/test1, next, read next line

do it on test env first, or best advise, cp -rp /tmp/test1 /tmp/test1.bkup, just in case you screw up.

cgexec

CGEXEC(1)							 libcgroup Manual							 CGEXEC(1)

NAME

       cgexec - run the task in given control groups

SYNOPSIS

       cgexec [-h] [-g <controllers>:<path>] [--sticky] command [arguments]

DESCRIPTION

       The cgexec program executes the task command with arguments arguments in the given control groups.

       -g <controllers>:<path>
	      defines  the  control  groups  in which the task will be run.  controllers is a list of controllers and path is the relative path to
	      control groups in the given controllers list.

	      This flag can be used multiple times to define multiple pairs of lists of controllers and relative paths.  Instead of  the  list	of
	      all mounted controllers, the wildcard b"*b" can be used.

	      If this option is not used, cgexec will automatically place the task in the right cgroup based on /etc/cgrules.conf.

	      If  /etc/cgrules.conf  configuration file is used, there can be used template names. Then the control group name contains a template
	      in destination tag (see cgrules.conf (5)) and if the cgroup does not exist in execution time, it is created,  based  on  /etc/cgcon-
	      fig.conf specification.  If the specifications are not present the group is created with the default kernel values.

       -h, --help
	      Display this help and exit.

       --sticky
	      If running the task command with this option, the daemon of service cgred (cgrulesengd process) does not change both the task of the
	      command and the child tasks. Without this option, the daemon does not change the task of the command but it changes the child  tasks
	      to the right cgroup based on /etc/cgrules.conf automatically.

EXAMPLES

       cgexec -g *:test1 ls
       runs command ls in control group test1 in all mounted controllers.

       cgexec -g cpu,memory:test1 ls -l
       runs command ls -l in control group test1 in controllers cpu and memory.

       cgexec -g cpu,memory:test1 -g swap:test2 ls -l
       runs command ls -l in control group test1 in controllers cpu and memory and control group test2 in controller swap.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       CGROUP_LOGLEVEL
	      controls verbosity of the tool. Allowed values are DEBUG, INFO, WARNING or ERROR.

FILES

       /etc/cgrules.conf
	      default libcgroup configuration file
