Script to delete VM's?

[Forum]

Has anybody written a script to clean out a VM box nightly? It could run as a scheduled task. I have a group that has all VM's sent to the group email as .WAV attachment, and they want all messages to be deleted. I could just clean out the folder, but will that affect anything else?

Nightly clean up

Charles,

Could you possibly batch the cfg command string?

Check out chapter 3, starting on page 18 of the MG.

4) For example: "Create a scheduled task the runs a script and deletes all messages in mailbox 200 every day"

[note: this uses several undocumented CFG commands]



a) Create a text file, DELETE_MSG_SCRIPT.TXT, in the ShoreWare Server directory with the following content:

openm 200

delallmsgs

closem

exit



b) Create a batch file, DELETE_MSG_200.BAT, in the ShoreWare Server directory with the following content:

"C:\Program Files\Shoreline Communications\ShoreWare Server\CFG.EXE" -f DELETE_MSG_SCRIPT.TXT



c) Create a scheduled task using an appropriate scheduling tool (such as the built-in Windows tools AT.EXE, SCHTASKS.EXE or "Scheduled Tasks" from within the Control Panel) to automate the running of DELETE_MSG_200.BAT every day or multiple times a day.
