Archive script for FreePBX recordings (Asternic recordings)

Hi guys, just setup cron for this script and it will at the time you specify do a move, copy or delete files based on n number of days. If run manually, it will be like this; say I want to archive any files or directories older than 14 days, I can run it like this;

# archivefiles 14

This will set actions on folders older than 14 days. Remember, for folders, it will not traverse within each files inside folders to determine its age, it will only check the subfolders within the specified folder. However, you can specify the depth but that’s not recommended to change to other than 1. Modify as you wish, its yours to test. If you want to check the output, do a copy first, don’t do a move, thus MOVE=0 must be set. The newer Asternic and Asterisk recordings do store files by directories and not mixed up inside

Just copy paste into into an appropriate location and either setup a cronjob, e.g. below, or run manually from CLI

Crontab daily..

@daily /usr/local/sbin/archivefiles 14

Copy paste the script below, make it executable by #chmod +x archivefiles

 

#!/bin/bash
# sanjayws@gmail.com
# usage #archivefiles 14 (meaning archivefiles will find files older than 14 days to do a move or copy)
#
