need script to delete .tmp files from home folders

[projector1]

just did a scan on one of the server drives containing home folders. It has 335mb of .tmp files.

 

I need a script & a batch file so that i can schedule it to run every evening on the drive containing just home folders. (schudule the batch file only)

 

(am kindly asking for both vbscript and batch file so that i can see the coding that is used create them)

 

much appreciated!

yes i know it is saturday, but in the last 3 hours i have managed to do 6 tasks that i have been delaying whilst in school due to lack of free time!

well batch would be something like

del /s drive:\topleveldir\*.tmp

 

probs best to include the /p switch until your sure it's working (prompt before delete for each file).

I use a similar script. If you add

 

del /s drive:\topleveldir\*.tmp >> %date:~0,2%-%date:~3,2%-%date:~6,9%.log

 

a log file (where the filename is today's date) is generated which contains all the filenames it has deleted / any error messages.

You don't even need a script - download Agent Ransack, stick in your search parameters, when Agent Ransack has finished doing its job, highlight the files and delete them....

I am sure you could do the same thing using another desktop search tool.....

Does Agent Ransack allow sheduling + auto action?

Does Agent Ransack allow sheduling + auto action?

 

Don't think so, I could knock up a script which would make it do though......
