Re: [foxboro] How to remove big collection of files

Hmmm.

You really should not be accumulating files. What directory has them and can
you give me the name of a few?

Is the program almdisp (Alarm Dispatch) running?


alm2unix comes as part of FoxPage and also RemotePlus do you have either of
these?

        Subject:        [foxboro] How to remove big collection of files

         
         
        Hi All,
        I am trying to remove a directory of size 19997184, when I do so,
the
        "rm" commands uses almost 80% of the CPU time which makes the system
        very very slow which affect the whole network. This directory hosts
        files from a program called alm2unix which collects data and passes
it
        to a remote site.
         
        Is there any command or way to delete all those files accumulated in
the
        directory without affecting the system performance?
         
        Your help is always appreciated.
         
         
        Best Regards,
