The clean_release_directory Command

The clean_release_directory script is located in the tools directory and removes older releases of the installed product from the installation directory. Over time, as tpm updates the configuration or new releases of the product, new directories with the full release information are created, but old ones are not removed in case you need to go back to a previous release.

Usage

clean_release_directory

The clean_release_directory command removes all but the five most recent installs and the current release. For example, with the following directory, in a Tungsten Cluster installation:

shell> ls -l /opt/continuent/releases

drwxr-xr-x. 2 tungsten tungsten   23 Feb 19 15:15 install
drwxr-xr-x. 8 tungsten tungsten 4096 Feb 19 15:12 tungsten-clustering-5.3.6-24_pid42731

and in a Tungsten Replicator installation:

drwxr-xr-x. 2 tungsten tungsten   23 Feb 19 15:15 install
drwxr-xr-x. 8 tungsten tungsten 4096 Feb 19 15:12 tungsten-replicator-5.3.6-24_pid42731

warning

The clean_release_directory command removes old releases. Although this does not affect THL, stored data, or your configuration, it may remove working, but old, configurations, releases and versions of the Tungsten software.

Running clean_release_directory in a Tungsten Cluster installation:

shell> ./tools/clean_release_directory
Deleting release directories in /opt/continuent; keeping the last five and current installation
Cleaning old releases from /opt/continuent
Deleting /opt/continuent/releases/tungsten-clustering-6.0.0-487_pid44240
Deleting /opt/continuent/releases/tungsten-clustering-5.3.6-24_pid42731

shell> ./tools/clean_release_directory
Deleting release directories in /opt/continuent; keeping the last five and current installation
Cleaning old releases from /opt/continuent
Deleting /opt/continuent/releases/tungsten-replicator-6.0.0-487_pid44240
Deleting /opt/continuent/releases/tungsten-replicator-5.3.6-24_pid42731

The resulting releases directory now contains a simpler list:

shell> ls -l /opt/continuent/releases
total 24
drwxr-xr-x. 2 tungsten tungsten   23 Feb 19 15:15 install
