Programming :: Can't Remove Temporary Files Using Bash Script?
Nov 9, 2010However, the ffmpeg command generates a temporary file blahblah.mpg.tmp of about 1GB per hour of transcoded video.My issue is that I can't seem to delete these files automatically from any bash script.Now from the command line, I can cd to the directory and just rm -f *.tmp and they get deleted. However, from my script, that same command doesn't remove those files. I thought maybe the file was in use, so I put a sleep command in for like an hour before the delete happens, but it still fails. I also put rm -f /mnt/mythtv/*.tmp in a root cronjob and it still doesn't delete the files.
If I just rm *.tmp I do get a prompt about "Are you sure you want to delete this write protected file?". But the -f switch seems to work fine as a normal user from the command line and just delete them.Does anyone have an idea how to troubleshoot this problem? The particular filesystem that the tmp files get generated on is on it's own xfs partition mounted as /mnt/mythtv.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE :: Disk Full With Temporary Files - System Goes Slower
Jan 24, 2010I am using OpenSuse 11.2 (64 bits) with KDE 4.3.1. My hard disk partition contains 3 areas : / + /home + swap. Frequently the / area is filling with, I suppose, temporary files until it is full (15 Go) and that in a very short time, typically about 5 mn. Then, these files are cleaned by the system, when disk space is needed I suppose. The point is that during this time, the system goes slower and slower until the "cleaning". That seems to occur only when Firefox (3.5.6) is running so I suppose that these files are temporary internet files.

General :: Remove Directories That Only Contain .txt And .log Files?
Aug 8, 2010I'd like to remove all directories of a certain depth that don't contain .txt or .log files -- is this possible? So far I have: find ~ -mindepth 3 -maxdepth 4 -type d -exec rm -r '{}' ; Is it possible to add in "only if the directory doesn't contain .txt and/or .log files"? Or do I have to start learning perl to do that?
For example:
dir 1:
hello.txt
runme.sh
dir 2:
runme.sh

General :: How To Remove All Files That Created N Minutes Ago

I know it should be some "find plus rm" fancy approch there, but I don't know exactly how.

View 3 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Remove Software That Views Image Files?
Jun 22, 2011I am considering removing all programs and software that handle images so that you cannot view images on the computer and .jpeg would be an unrecognizable file. It's impossible to remove the program that views images in Windows since Explorer is that program - a central Windows component, but I wonder if it is possible to use an alternative operating system like linux and remove the programs that handle images without affecting the system.
I need to do this because of the following problem. I had an internet filter installed but it became useless once certain proxy/circumventor sites such as www.ibypass.com were discovered, which allowed access to any website on the internet. Blocking proxy sites does not work because you can type "https" at the beginning of some of these web addresses and the internet filter cannot keep track of the secure browsing
