Auto delete files older than x days

Post by Bostjanlaba »

HI,

is there or is it possible for someone to make a nice little app in which I would select a folder on nas, set time period (days) and it would daily or weekly delete files in that folder that are older than defined days?

I know it's possible to make a script and do a crontab edit via ssh, but I'd like to see it thru an app, with GUI, which would also make it friendlier and faster, especially if you have to set this up on more than one NAS.

Many thanks.

Bostjan

This is a great idea.

However, the "Apps Wanted" section of the forum is to request packaging of existing applications for use on QNAP NAS.

If you're seeking a brand-new application, you may need to develop it yourself. :geek:

Maybe you could code it in Python? Then everyone wins. :D
