Hi Monks:

I am a newbie to Perl. I am currently a Systems Administrator in the Washington DC area.

Please I need your assistance. I need to complete the following for work function but i am still stuck on trying to complete the first part of the script below. I still can't get script to delete the files on the V volume on the Window Server.

Implement a script that checks for the available space on the V and X Volumes on a Window Server 2008 EE.

1. If the available space is less than 3.5 TB on the V Volume, the script deletes any SyscoDB database backup files older than 2 weeks.

2. If the available space is less than 3.5 TB on the V Volume, the scripts moves any SyscoDB database backup files older than 1 week to the X Volume. 

 

#A script that check If the available space is less
# than 3.5 TB on the V Volume, #and deletes any 
#SyscoDB database backup files older than 2 weeks.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

use Win32::DriveInfo;


my $file;
my $dir_to_process = "V:/Backups/SyscoDB";
my  $V_TotalNumberOfFreeBytes = Win32::DriveInfo::DriveSpace('v:');
my $V_RoundedTotalNumberOfFreeGigabytes = sprintf("%.2f", 
($V_TotalNumberOfFreeBytes/1073741824));
     
print "The Free Size is : $V_RoundedTotalNumberOfFreeGigabytes GB\n";
 
if ( $V_RoundedTotalNumberOfFreeGigabytes < 3.5 && 
          $V_RoundedTotalNumberOfFreeGigabytes == 3.5) {
    
    opendir DH, $dir_to_process or 
                die "Cannot open $dir_to_process: $!";
        foreach $file (readdir DH){
        unlink $file or warn "failed on $file: $!\n"
            if -M $file > 14;
        
    }
    
    
    closedir DH;
}
