Adjust [MountPoint]<\/code> (mount point of your share) und [Age]<\/code> (age of the files in days which you want to erase) to your environment and needs.<\/p>\n

Update 07\/12\/2015: As \u201cgilada\u201d posted in a German comment<\/a> that the script does not work correctly.\u00a0 The error find: missing argument to `-exec' <\/code>appeared. To get rid of this the semicolon (;) at the end of each line has to be masked by a backslash (\\) in current UNIX versions. In my older FreeNAS-Version this was not necessary. I modified all scripts on this page. Thanks to \u201cgilada\u201d to point me to this issue.<\/p>\n

Example: If the name of your mount point is myshare<\/span> and you want to finally erase all files and folders which were deleted for 90 days or more, the script\u00a0 delrecycle.sh<\/code> looks like:<\/p>\n

#!\/bin\/sh\r\nfind \/mnt\/myshare\/.recycle\/* -atime +90 -exec rm -rf '{}' \\;\r\nfind \/mnt\/myshare\/.recycle\/ -depth -type d -empty -exec rmdir {} \\;<\/pre>\nIf you have more than one share you have to extend the script above. If your second mount point is called myshare2<\/code>, the script is:<\/p>\n#!\/bin\/sh\r\nfind \/mnt\/myshare\/.recycle\/* -atime +90 -exec rm -rf '{}' \\;\r\nfind \/mnt\/myshare\/.recycle\/ -depth -type d -empty -exec rmdir {} \\;\r\nfind \/mnt\/myshare2\/.recycle\/* -atime +90 -exec rm -rf '{}' \\;\r\nfind \/mnt\/myshare2\/.recycle\/ -depth -type d -empty -exec rmdir {} \\;<\/pre>\n<\/li>\nUpload delrecycle.sh<\/code> to your share.<\/li>\nCreate a cronjob (System|Advanced|Cron) with root<\/span>\u2013 privileges, which calls the command:\nsh \/path\/to\/MountPoint\/delrecycle.sh<\/pre>\ndaily. Following the example above, the command should look like:<\/p>\nsh \/mnt\/myshare\/delrecycle.sh<\/pre>\n<\/a>Cronjob in FreeNAS<\/p><\/div>\n
In the screenshoot above the script is called at every first and fifteenth day of a month at midnight.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nPeculiarities of Samba\u2019s recycle bin<\/h3>\nBecause Samba\u2019s recycle bin behaves different to the Desktop ones on Windows, Mac or Linux the article Peculiarities of Samba\u2019s recycle bin<\/a> may help.<\/p>\n
