UPDATED GOES removal script for Linux

Recently I made this tutorial on receiving GOES images, and I had previously posted a little script for keeping everything clean. It’s now been updated slightly for new paths according to the howto I created. Not very complicated. First create your script $ nano /home/radio/goes_remove_old.sh Then, paste this in # DELETE FILES older than 7 days in the emwin directory find /var/www/html/goes/emwin/* -type f -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \; # DELETE ENTIRE DIRECTORIES older than 7 days and 14 days for NWS find /var/www/html/goes/goes16/m1/* -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; find /var/www/html/goes/goes16/m2/* -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; find /var/www/html/goes/goes16/non-cmip/* -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; find /var/www/html/goes/goes16/fd/* -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; find /var/www/html/goes/goes18/fd/* -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; find /var/www/html/goes/nws/* -type d -mtime +14 -exec rm -rf {} \; Exit and save the file....
