Directory with persistent data cleanup? [Solved]

[cincuranet]

Hi, I noticed that the data directory, where the persistent data is stored, is not cleaned up when I delete the script. Is this expected? And is there a better solution to clean this up except "manually" matching script names and "data" names (I don't want to delete data files for scripts in use, to not loose data)?

There is no mechanism in domoticz or dzVents to do this automatically but if you want do it programmatic you could use this small bash script

Code: Select all

#
# bash script to remove dzVents datafiles orphans
#
domoticzdir="/opt/domoticz"                   # Change to reflect your domoticz base directory 
cd $domoticzdir/scripts/dzVents/data
for filename in *.lua; do    
    scriptfile=$(echo "../scripts/"$filename | sed -e   's/__data_//g')
    if [ ! -f "$scriptfile" ] ;then
        echo "$scriptfile not found!"
        ls -l $filename                               # should not show a recent date
        echo sudo rm -f $filename             # remove the echo once convinced it will do the job expected
        
    fi
done

Yes, that's basically what I do. Thanks.
