Core File Deletion

In this example, we automatically and routinely delete core files on data disks.

The DeleteCoreFiles script just operates silently (although every file removal command is logged in the alert's log file).

DeleteCoreFiles makes reference to the =dirsuser_obj macro, which resolves to the name of the DirsUser.obj file.  The script follows.

DeleteCoreFiles

        init
                status =piktstatus
                level =piktlevel
                task "Automatically delete core files on data disks"
                input file "=dirsuser_obj"
                dat $filesystem 1

        rule
                =exec "=find $filesystem -type f -name core -exec =lld {} \\;
                             >> =notice_log -exec =rm {} \\; 2>/dev/null"
