yeah, we run a script like once every few days to get rid of mp3s in home directories (windows home directories)

here it is:

/opt/sfw/bin/gfind /soc_vol0/home -type f ( -name "*.mp3" -o -name "*.MP3" ) -print0 | /opt/sfw/bin/gxargs -0 rm -f > /dev/null 2>&1

Just replace paths.... Should be able to do the same for other extensions. However, this does take awhile to run....depending upon the number of users and home directories you have.

Thanks,

Jason T.

hi,

This might be quite a difficult thing to acheive and might also impact performance if you have to filter alot of files.

You will be better of just doing a regular search on the filer for file the the .mp3 .mpeg etc and then deleting them.

Hi Toasters,

is there any way of blocking certain file types from being saved to my filer. Prime examples: .mpeg, .mp3, .mov
