Hi All,

I am trying to use dirscan on a Linux system, and when it detects a file over a certain size and by a certain extension when found delete the file. The first part is working fine, it is detecting the file of a certain size and generating an alarm, but it is not deleting the file. Under the size tab in the command line I am entering : rm *.hprof  but clearly that command syntax is incorrect coming from dirscan on linux, Can anyone tell me what the correct syntax would be to get this to work?  BTW in the setup button, Iam using the Run as user section with the correct username and password of the files owner.

I wouldn't use that in the command line, I usually write bash scripts at the least to have dirscan call and perform the action. This is what I do for performing actions from other probes as well.

Hi!

Can you try put "-f" parameter of your "rm" command and also put the full path of the directory? Like this:

rm -f /path/to/directory/*.hprof

Thanks, that did it.  Just adding the –f  switch in the command line made all the difference.

Please try to declare "full path" for command and file.

example

/usr/bin/rm /aaa/bbb/ccc
