TotalNET Advanced Server 5.2 Reference Manual

rudel

This command, used with LM-NT-OS/2 servers, deletes remote files. You may delete system or hidden files.

Location

TNHOME/usr/bin

Usage

rudel [-u username] [{-p password|-P}] [-C charset]
 	[-a {s|h}] //servername/object/path

Options

-u username

Specify the name of the user for the remote server. 

-p password

Specify username's password on the command line. No subsequent password prompt appears.

-P 

Prompt for username's password. The password does not display as you type it. This option proves especially if you want to include the command but not the password in a batch file.

-C charset

Specify the client character set. If not specified, the character set defaults to builtin-codepage-437. Valid character sets include:

builtin-mac-roman

builtin-iso-latin-1

builtin-unicode

builtin-codepage-437

You can use additional character sets if you install TAS. 

-a 

Include files of one or both of the following types: 

s -- System files

h -- Hidden files

servername

Specify the name of the remote server. 

object

Specify the name of a shared object on a remote LM-NT-OS/2 server. 

path

Specify a full or relative directory and file on the remote server. This option permits the use of wildcards. 

Note

If you include no -a options, this command finds only the files marked Read-Only, Directory, and Archive.

Examples

  1. Use the following command to delete all files in the subdirectory tmp of the shared object root on the server pipe and prompt for a password:


    rudel -P //pipe/root/tmp/*.*

  2. Use the command below to delete the files with the extension .obj in the subdirectory comp of the shared object dev on the server projectpc. The shared object dev has no password.


    rudel //projectpc/dev/comp/*.obj

  3. Use the following command to delete all files with the extension .tmp, including hidden files, using the object data in the directory tmp on the server Troy, and prompt for a password, as user galaxy:


    rudel -u galaxy -P -ah //Troy/data/tmp/*.tmp
