I'm having a filter problem.
My objective is to set up a 'tidy' action that removes files from
/tmp that haven't been accessed in 10 days, that are owned by either
'www' or group 'foo'. (That's "older than 10 days AND ( owner=www OR
group=foo )".)
So I figured I'd be using something that looks like this:
tidy:
class_of_machines_that_i_want_this_for::
/tmp pat=* age=10 filter=wwwfoo r=inf rmdirs=true inform=true
filters:
{ wwwfoo
Owner: "www"
Group: "foo"
}
In order to test that this wouldn't do something crazy, I put in the
filter above, and added this temporary stanza to 'files':
files:
class_of_machines_that_i_want_this_for::
/tmp filter=wwwfoo action=alert r=inf
Unfortunately, that's alerting on every file under /tmp.
Clearly, something is wrong with the filter. What, I have no
idea. Other things I have tried:
{ wwwfoo
Owner: "www"
}
{ wwwfoo
Owner: "www"
Group: "foo"
Result: Owner|Group
}
Version 2.0.7p3; running on Linux. Any help, even if it's just a
pointer to more documentation on filters, would be appreciated. I
can't seem to get my head around how they're supposed to work.
thanks,
john.
