I'm trying to create a basic script that will remove old backup files (more
than 30 days) from a directory based upon timestamp. The system it will run
on is Windows XP. I created this and ran it on one box and it seemed to
work fine, when I ported it to the actual box it needs to run on it is not
removing the files. I ran the script with "python -i" so it dumped me into
interactive mode and I confirmed that the current object was ok, I confirmed
it is in the correct directory, I confirmed I could so a manual
os.remove("file") and it would actually delete the file. This makes me
think it is not a permissions issue. But when I run the script it is a no
go. I'm basically at a loss as to what to try for troubleshooting next.
Backstory, this directory is an iis ftp directory if that makes a
difference.
import os, time, sys
current = time.time()
os.chdir("c:\BACKUPS\DEV1")
for f in os.listdir('.'):
modtime = os.path.getmtime('.')
if modtime < current - 30 * 86400:
os.remove(f)
This is my first list post. Thanks for any help!
