Here’s a little Linux command line I came up with that keeps one directory having the same number of files in it as another directory – by deleting all of the oldest files until the file count is the same:<\/p>\n
ls \/etc\/assp\/spam -t | tail +$((`ls \/etc\/assp\/notspam | wc -l | sed -e ‘s\/^ *\/\/’`+1)) | xargs -i \/bin\/bash -c “rm \/etc\/assp\/spam\/{}”<\/p>\n
This will probably look like complete gibberish to most people. I had to come up with it because of an issue I was having with the way that ASSP’s spam checking worked. (If you look carefully enough, you’ll see some keywords in there that relate.)<\/p>\n
There isn’t really much point to this entry – other than that I’m a little proud to have assembled the above.<\/p>\n
Newsflash:<\/b> This is my 100th post! (I knew that I’d be making one when I noticed that my last post was number 99 – I just didn’t know what it would be.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
