DESCRIPTION

g.remove.path is a simple helper module to be used in actinia to clean-up temporary files and directories on a worker node. In line with g.remove no files or directories are removed without the f-flag. For directories also the r-flag is needed. The path option supports the use of wildcards (*), handle with care.

EXAMPLES

temp_file=$(g.tempfile pid=12345)
g.remove.path -f path="$temp_file"
