Variable Type

Description

serverName

String

Name of the target server.

retentionTime

Integer

Retention time in days. The minimum valid value for the retention time is 3 days.

deleteCriteria

String

The attribute used for determining whether a file is considered for deletion.

Valid values are:

  • -c: The attribute used for determining whether a file is considered for deletion is the creation time. If a file was created within the specified retention time, it would not be considered for deletion. 
  • -a: The attribute used for determining whether a file is considered for deletion is the access time. If a file was accessed within the specified retention time, it would not be considered for deletion. 
    Note: Programs such as anti-virus and backups reset the access time when they run. Therefore, if you are seeing the files you expected to be cleaned up are not cleaned up, use other attributes (-m, -c) to achieve the desired results.
  • -m: The attribute used for determining whether a file is considered for deletion is the modification time. If a file was modified within the specified retention time, it would not be considered for deletion. 

Example

The following example shows how to to clean up temporary files on a target server named server123. -c indicates that files that were created 10 days ago will be cleaned up.


Script

blcli Delete cleanupAgent server123 10 -c
