Sequencer

[dspxguy]

You could do it as a part of the same activity, just append

Code: Select all

&& rm -r /home/edw

to your command (Assuming you want to remove edw directory)

Thanks Narasimha.

I need to parameterize my path and I am not able to do it in the command field. I tried to use 'sh' earlier and then parameterize my path in the parameters field but it didnt work. So how would I parameterize the path.

Thanks

Break up your paramenters into directory and file - something like

DEL_DIR --> /home/edw/
DEL_FILE --> delstatus.txt

Command:

Code: Select all

test -f

Parameters:

Code: Select all

#DEL_DIR##DEL_FILE# && rm -f #DEL_DIR##DEL_FILE# && rm -r #DEL_DIR#

Not sure where you are going wrong.
Can you post the complete message from the director

The sequencer ran ok but it didnt delete the status file or directory.
Thanks

The test failed, so no further steps were run. Is this really the full path to your status file?

/home/edw/deletestatus/home/edw/delstatus.txt

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

status file path is /home/edw/delstatus.txt
directory path is /home/edw/deletestatus

I need to delete both of them. How would I accomplish this ?

Thanks

Harken back to the advice given to you by Narasimha. Use two parameters. Seeing as your file is apparently *not* in the directory to be deleted, one will hold the directory and one for the file itself.

Easy Peasy.

Come on... I didn't say for you to slavish do exactly what he said but to follow his advice. Beside, that was before you showed that your file was not in the same directory being deleted, which was the assumption under which the previous advice was given. Use some common sense.

Some questions:

Is #DEL_DIR##DEL_FILE# the full path to your file? Yes.

Is #DEL_DIR# the full path to your directory? No.

How do you think this thorny problem can be solved?
