Revisiting a question that I asked in March last year about how to auto-empty a trash bin.
This has worked very well until today, when on one of my drives it
also deleted the trash bin as well, so my follow-on script to give
me the size of my trash bin failed as there wasn’t a trash bin to
evaluate!
Here is the script lines -
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
find /media/boudiccas/back2/.Trash-1000 -type f -mtime +"$days" -delete;
find /media/boudiccas/back2/.Trash-1000 -depth -type d -exec rmdir
--ignore-fail-on-non-empty {} +;
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and this is the evaulation script line -
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
echo 'Back2' - $(du -sh /media/boudiccas/back2/.Trash-1000 | cut -f1)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
How can I get it such that it empties the trash bin but does not
delete the bin itself please?
Thanks
Sharon.
