Full Discussion: Read all lines after a string appears in the file.
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Read all lines after a string appears in the file. Post 302567310 by Nagaraja Akkiva on Sunday 23rd of October 2011 11:51:41 PM

a delete script which reads number of days, location and file type as the parameters from the config file.

First, it has to check SET UP VALUES.

For example,

if set up value is "$PROCESS#|#25#|#.dat" then
we have to delete all .dat file older than 25 days from processed directory.

Example second: Here , file directory is null then we have to read for default section mentioned. ALL: i.e $PROCESSED and $REJECTED.

#|#25#|#.xls

Hope this is clear now..

Thanks and Regards
Nagaraja AKkivalli.

ipurge

IPURGE(8)						      System Manager's Manual							 IPURGE(8)

NAME

       ipurge - delete mail from IMAP mailbox or partition based on age or size

SYNOPSIS

       ipurge [ -f ] [ -C config-file ] [ -x ] [ -X ] [ -i ] [ -s ] [ -o ]
	      [ -d days | -b bytes | -k Kbytes | -m Mbytes ]
	      [ mailbox-pattern...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       Ipurge  deletes	messages from the mailbox(es) specified by mailbox-pattern that are older or larger than specified by the -d, -b, -k or -m
       options.  If no mailbox-pattern is given, ipurge works on all mailboxes.  If the -x option is given, the message age and  size  MUST  match
       exactly those specified by -d, -b, -k or -m.  The are no default values, and at least one of -d, -b, -k or -m MUST be specified.

       Ipurge  by  default  only deletes mail below shared folders, which means that mails in mailbox(es) below INBOX.* and user.* stay untouched.
       Use the option -f to also delete mail in mailbox(es) below these folders.

       Ipurge reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.

OPTIONS

       -f     Force deletion of mail in all mailboxes.

       -C config-file
	      Read configuration options from config-file.

       -d days
	      Age of message in days.

       -b bytes
	      Size of message in bytes.

       -k Kbytes
	      Size of message in Kbytes (2^10 bytes).

       -m Mbytes
	      Size of message in Mbytes (2^20 bytes).

       -x     Perform an exact match on age or size (instead of older or larger).

       -X     Use delivery time instead of Date: header for date matches

       -i     Invert match logic: -x means not equal, date is for newer, size is for smaller

       -s     Skip over messages that have the Flagged flag set.

       -o     Only purge messages that have the Deleted flag set.

FILES

       /etc/imapd.conf
