my HDD is in 95% and i want to delete .wav file
how am i going to delete the 7 year old recordings???






VERSION: 2.0.5-173
BUILD: 90320-0424
Asterisk 1.2.30.2

there is an entry in crontab (has /usr/bin/find in it) which may be "commented out" with a leading #. Remove the # ...

You can also run the same command from the command line if you want to limit the results to a date later than the crontab entry (which may delete everything 7 days and over ... or 2 days and over ... depending on your installed version).

to find it (and activate it permanently!)

Code: Select all

crontab -e

to just run the command

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/find /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE -maxdepth 2 -type f -mtime +2 -print | xargs rm -f

which will remove old recordings more than 7 days old

rm -rf /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE/ORIG && mkdir -p /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE/ORIG

the files inside the ORIG folder are the ones that are bigger in size compared to the ones in the MP3 folder

thank you for your reply guys!!!


you help me a lot...




thanks

Code: Select all

rm -rf /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE/ORIG && mkdir -p /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE/ORIG

Does this code will delete all .wav files only?

it will delete all the files in THAT folder (which is likely only WAV files). it will also delete the folder and then recreate it.

thank you so much...

I have deleted recordings from

Code: Select all

/var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE

Folder. But the recording link is still available in agent stats and i can download and listen the recording. Is there some other place from where this recording is being fetched ?

Regards.

many systems push to an external URL via FTP. Some even push to a different location on the same server or cluster via FTP. There is often a /home folder with an archive folder containing a recordings folder. (/home/archive/RECORDINGS). But if you shared the URL from an example recording (without the domain or IP and with the actual filename), it will be possible to lead you to where the file in question is. May take a few steps (such as finding the server in question, checking the apache folder directives and possibly aliases ...).


You can also try "updatedb" and then "locate XXXXXX" (replace XXXXXX with the actual filename) to see where on your HD these files are hiding.
