A collection of all the personal python scripts that I have made.
Learning while making something useful.
These scripts are written in python3.5 and are a bit machine specific i.e. work based on the layout of my folders and files.
N.B. - Assumes root directory of all these scripts has been exported to PATH.
Removes the files on my computer that are located in certain directories. This works with markForRemoval.py. Removes all the marked files and folders, symbolic links from the disk.
Usage:
- To run without any warnings or output: -
$ purge.py
- To run with limited output (only the output that the script itself generates): -
$ purge.py -v
- To view all of the script's activity as well as the verbose output of
markForRemoval.py: -$ purge.py -vv- To start purging a specific directory tree provide the absolute path to the root folder of that tree as an optional argument: -
$ purge.py -p /path/to/directory
A complementing script that works with purge.py. Renames files and folders that are unnecessary by marking them with a prefix of delete_. eg. temp.txt --> delete_temp.txt
Usage:
- To run without any warnings or output: -
$ markForRemoval.py
- To view all of the script's activity: -
$ markForRemoval.py -v- To mark only items from a specific directory tree provide the absolute path to the root folder of that tree as an optional argument: -
$ markForRemoval.py -p /path/to/directory
A script that is run by the scheduleDiskCheck.sh bash script at 11:59 PM on a daily basis to determine whether or not the disk should be purged.
- Checks the current remaining free space in GB.
- Calls purge.py if the remaining free space is less than the current threshold (5GB).
- Takes no arguments.
Usage:
-
$ checkDiskSpace.py
