Script to empty a folder on a daily basis
PostPosted:Mon Jul 20, 2020 2:43 pm
Hello,
I don't know if configuration is the proper place for this topic so mods feel free to move it if not.
Just wondering if someone could help me with a bsh script (or another way) to automatically delete all documents in a specific folder every day at a certain time? I'm using this because I have a scans folder that takes documents in from a scanner and then the user is supposed to then move those documents to the final location that they belong in. I want to delete all remaining files out of this scans folder every day so that users don't get the idea that the scan folder is just another convenient storage location.
I don't know if this has to be a bsh script or if something can be done with automation. I've tried a few calls to the API but I don't know what call to use to delete them.
Here is what I have - some of the code is commented as I was testing but this is the general idea:
