[SOLVED] Bash: Script for cleaning Voicemails from Asterisk.

Mortuus · 04-15-2010, 05:01 PM

Hi all!

I have to clean the voicemails from asterisk, but I want to keep at least, the voicemails for five days.

I started writing a script, but I'm a bit stuck, and I've trying somethings for sometime, but still I can't get it

The hierarchy of Asterisk Voicemails is like this:

default
10000
INBOX
msgbox0001.txt
msgbox0001.wav
msgbox0002.txt
msgbox0002.wav
10004
INBOX
msgbox0001.txt
msgbox0001.wav
msgbox0002.txt
msgbox0002.wav
10040
INBOX
msgbox0001.txt
msgbox0001.wav
msgbox0002.txt
msgbox0002.wav

etc...

I did a

Code:

cat default > folderlist

to have all the names of the folders

Then I thought that I could do a while loop like this

Code:

while read line
docd var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/$line/INBOX
pwd # this is just for testing that works
done < folderlist

But I don't know how I can compare dates for deleting only the voicemails that are older than 5 days.

:S

Thanks for your helping, I really aprecciate it

Thanks again
