Hi Phil,
The line you are looking at
PATH_TRASH="`find /home/vpopmail/domains -type d -name .Trash`" is not
the problem. By default "find" will start looking in the path for
files/directories and is recursive. So it is starting in
/home/vpopmail/domains looking for any directories (-type d) named
.Trash. So it will find any .Trash directories living under
/home/vpopmail/domains.
Looking at /opt/qmailtoaster-plus/etc/cron.hourly/qtp-clean-trash the
real processing is done in the nested if statements. The script is
written so that all output of the rm command is sent to /dev/null. So
you will never see what it is doing.
Just to test the script, I copied it to a new file called "myscript" and
changed the following. Look for this line:
rm -f ${file} >/dev/null 2>&1
change it to this
ls ${file}
then run myscript (make sure the script is executable)
it should list all the files it would delete if the original script was run.
If it returns nothing, then you have no files older than the default 5
days in any .Trash directory under /home/vpopmail/domains. I think I
would then change the line
DELTIME=5
to
DELTIME=1
in myscript and try it again.
Post back if it listed any files.
