I wrote a script that can be run from a Rivendell Macro ("RN"), from
cron(8), or as a systemd(8) "timer unit". The script (use --help for
details) can delete any or all cuts that satisfy these criteria:
- have been previously played
- have been played longer than <day/time> ago
- are shorter than a specified duration
- were imported longer than <day/time> ago
When using this script, you would uncheck the "Delete cuts before
importing" option in the dropbox settings.
Use the --keep-evergreen option to have it do what you seek.
It has a --dry-run option that shows what it *would* do so you can check
it before deleting the cuts.
The script requires two things: /bin/zsh (the Z Shell) and my Z Shell
"library" (zsh-functions) in either /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin
Both the script and the library are at
https://github.com/opensourceradio/ram/tree/master/usr/local/bin Look
for "btd-drop-cuts" and "zsh-functions".
Hope this helps!
