I added photo.scr to my file.can file years ago, and deleted all of
the copies of it - someone uploaded it to all of my bases.

The files are gone, but they still show up in the file listings. Is
there a quicker way to remove the file listing than logging on and
going to each base individually?

Use the ;OFFLINE sysop command.

go to your transfer section and use the ;offline function to list files that don't exist... then tag and remove each of them...

i cannot seem to get it to run cleanly on my system... it appears to not read/use the $SBBSCTRL environment var... it also seems to want to work only in
the current directory... in other words, when i start it from my $HOME directory, it tries to walk
through the directories in there instead of those in sbbs/data/dirs... changing
to sbbs/data/dirs and then running it seems to only do the first listed area...
in all cases, i've followed the wiki and tried with the following command line...

/sbbs/exec/delfiles * /off /rpt

for example:

user@machine:~$ cd /sbbs/data/dirs

user@machine:/sbbs/data/dirs$ /sbbs/exec/delfiles * /off /rpt

DELFILES Version 1.01 (Linux) - Removes files from Synchronet Filebase

Scanning Main BBS Related

sbbs@southeaststar:/sbbs/data/dirs$

and that's it... it isn't walking through all the areas like the wiki seems to indicate it should do...

'*' is special in bash. Try using "\*" or the "-all" option instead (I know,

it's not documented).

ahh, shit! i keep forgetting that... yes, "\*' works :embarrassed:

Seems to work for me.

It's expanding '*' to a list of files in the current directory.

Thanks! That's a great way to do some cleanup work, too - I imported some of
my file bases from my old BBS, and some files ended up being missing.

Time to house clean...

At a command prompt, type:

1) SET SBBSCTRL=C:\SBBS\CTRL
2) SET SBBSNODEC:\SBBS\NODE1

Then, go to \sbbs\exec and type DELFILES * /OFF -- I have that on a
line by itself in nightly maintenance, and it zaps files I've removed.
