Hello list,
Anyone here who wrote a shell script that deletes messages older than X
days from the hold queue?
It's just a one-liner with postqueue -j and a bit of perl:
postqueue -j | perl -MJSON -MData::Dumper -ne 'my $j = decode_json($_);
next unless $j->{queue_name} eq "hold" && (time()-$j->{arrival_time}) >
86400; system qw(postsuper -d),$j->{queue_id};'
86400 is the number of seconds in a day, adjust accordingly.
Or even better:
postqueue -j | perl -MJSON -MData::Dumper -ne 'my $j = decode_json($_);
next unless $j->{queue_name} eq "hold" && (time()-$j->{arrival_time}) >
86400; print $j->{queue_id},"\n"' | postsuper -d -
...and Viktor gave an example with jq instead of perl, take your pick of
which tool you'd rather use, but I would avoid grep and sed. What's the
point of even using JSON output if you're going to turn around and hack
at it with grep and sed?
