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

I remember this project now. Alm2unix was used by the project team
independently of FoxPage and RemotePlus - that's okay, but it changes where
the problem might be.


If the files still exist, I'd like to know the dates on them - run the ls
command with the -lt option for a bit and then kill it. The only way to
remove them is with the rm command. I would also like to see one of the
files.


I'm not sure what is going on, but it seems that the message files are not
being processesd. That could be because of a problem with almdisp, but I'm
not certain.

I think I would remove them and then see if they are being recreated. If
they are being re-created, we need to figure out how they are supposed to be
processed and fix that.

        -
        These files are located in the
/opt/foxind/peer2peer/alm2unix/sched/RUN1

        I used the command " nice ls & " to list them, it took more than 30
        minutes just to list them. 
        -
        Yes the amdisp is running

        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?

                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,
