msrm — Remove MSS files.
The msrm utility removes the specified MSS files. When an MSS file is removed, it is placed into the trash, and may be recovered with msrecover for a period of 30 days.
msrm specific options:
Recursively remove files (and directories). For each operand that names a directory, msrm will remove everything in that directory tree.
Do not issue error messages or modify the exit status in case of nonexistent operands.
time
Only remove the MSS file(s) if their last reference
time matches time, which
is of the format YYYYMMDDhhmmss.
This time can be obtained from the output of either
msallinfo(1NCAR) (the "Ref1 Time" value), msls(1NCAR) (in the
date and time fields with the -cT
option), or msrawinfo(1NCAR) (the MFDB_RF1TIM field).
proj
Supply proj as the project number for
charging. Currently, no charging is done for metadata operations, so
this option is a placeholder for when charging might be imposed.
The common password related options are:
password
Supply the read password for the following MSS files. If another
read password was specified prior to this point in this command line,
and the following MSS files do no have a read password, a null
password must be given: -rpwd ''. If the MSS
files do not have a read password, this option must not be used.
password
Supply the write password for the following MSS files. If
another write password was specified prior to this point in this command
line, and the following MSS files do no have a write password, a
null password must be given: -wpwd ''. If the MSS
files do not have a write password, this option must not be used.
Example 39. Remove MSS files that match a shell pattern.
This example removes all MSS files that start with the letter
Q in the current MSS working
directory:
