Openhab 2.5 on Raspberry PI 4
I have a rules that execute on the command line, using executeCommandLine.
I have set sudo permissions for the functions I’m running, and they have all been working. However, I am having some trouble with the rm command to remove files from a folder.
I want to remove all files in the folder /var/lib/openhab2/backups.
Via a SSH session, using "sudo rm /var/lib/openhab2/backups/* all works as expected
But when I run this via a rule, I get an error in the logs saying the No such file or directory.
I have tried a few versions….
executeCommandLine("sudo rm /var/lib/openhab2/backups/*",500)
executeCommandLine("sudo@@rm@@/var/lib/openhab2/backups/*",500)
But I always get the same error
2020-03-21 17:45:43.530 [DEBUG] [lipse.smarthome.io.net.exec.ExecUtil] - executed commandLine 'sudo rm /var/lib/openhab2/backups/*'
2020-03-21 17:45:43.684 [DEBUG] [lipse.smarthome.io.net.exec.ExecUtil] - exit code '1', result 'rm: cannot remove '/var/lib/openhab2/backups/*': No such file or directory'
If I specify an exact filename then it will run and remove the file as expected, so the issue looks to be with the way it treats the [*] wild card.
Any ideas?
Thanks
