Try it with the /q switch.
Del "$RP API Folder$logs/$z1D_RP_Delete_Logs_Day$/*.log" /q _____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Coleman, Gavin Sent: 29 August 2008 11:19 To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Help with Run Process - Deleting files on a server Hi List - I wonder if anyone can help me? I have a Run Process action running in a Filter that is trying to delete some files on the Windows 2003 server. My syntax for this is: Del "$RP API Folder$logs/$z1D_RP_Delete_Logs_Day$/*.log" Values for these variables are $RP API Folder$ = C:/remedy/install/itspdev/api/bin/ $z1D_RP_Delete_Logs_Day$ = Saturday Looking in the log files I can see the following happening: 0: Process <FLTR> <TID: 0000002828> <RPC ID: 0000002145> <Queue: Fast > <Client-RPC: 390620 > <USER: GCOLEMAN > DEL "C:/remedy/install/itspdev/api/bin/logs/Saturday/*.log" <FLTR> <TID: 0000002828> <RPC ID: 0000002145> <Queue: Fast > <Client-RPC: 390620 > <USER: GCOLEMAN > **** Error while performing filter action I have tried the Run Process with quotes and without and nothing works. I get another error in the arerror.log which shows the following: 390620 : Failure while trying to run the filter/escalation process (ARERR 24) Fri Aug 29 10:57:42 2008 No error : DEL "C:/remedy/install/itspdev/api/bin/logs/Saturday/*.log" Can anybody point out where I'm going wrong? Or failing that suggest a way to delete some files on the server based on variables? Thanks for your help!
