[Spacewalk-list] remove package in spacewalk repo

[Matt Moldvan]

Have a look at
https://github.com/sandwormusmc/spacewalk-api-scripts/tree/master/spacewalk-remove-old-packages

I made some updates there to check if a package is installed first before
removing it, maybe it fits your use case and maybe the original version at
https://github.com/angrox/spacewalk-api-scripts/tree/master/spacewalk-remove-old-packages
is more suited to your needs.

I also wrapped that Python script in the following shell script (sorry
about the formatting, Inbox mangled the copy/paste):

#!/bin/bash

SCRIPTNAME=$(basename ${0})

THISDATE=$(date +%F)

LOGPATH="/var/log/rhn/${SCRIPTNAME}"

if [ ! -d "${LOGPATH}" ]; then

        mkdir -p "${LOGPATH}"

fi

LOGFILE="${LOGPATH}/${SCRIPTNAME}.log"

LOCKFILE="/var/run/${SCRIPTNAME}.lck"

PIDFILE="/var/run/${SCRIPTNAME}.pid"

#exit 1

# Trap a Ctrl-C to clean up the lock file

trap ctrl_c INT TERM

function ctrl_c(){

        echo '*** WARNING, NUCLEAR WAR PROTOCOL ACTIVATED ***'

        echo '*** TRAPPED CTRL-C ***' >> "${LOGFILE}"

        rm "${LOCKFILE}" && rm "${PIDFILE}" && exit 1

}

trap sighup HUP

function sighup(){

        echo -e '\n*** TRAPPED SIGHUP ***'

        echo "Currently processing errata with ID ${ID}, issued on
${ISSUE_DATE}..." | tee -a "${LOGFILE}"

}


if [ -f "${LOCKFILE}" ]; then

        echo "Lock file exists at ${LOCKFILE}!" | tee -a "${LOGFILE}"

        if [[ $(find "${LOCKFILE}" -mtime +1) ]]; then

                echo "Lock file at ${LOCKFILE} is older than 24 hours...
removing and continuing." | tee -a "${LOGFILE}"

                rm "${LOCKFILE}"

        else

                echo "Lock file at ${LOCKFILE} is newer than 24 hours...
exiting." | tee -a "${LOGFILE}"

                exit 1

        fi

else

        echo "PID $$ - ${SCRIPTNAME} started on $(date)" | tee -a
"${LOGFILE}"

        touch "${LOCKFILE}"
fi

echo $$ > "${PIDFILE}"

PKGNUM=1000

/usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/spacewalk-remove-old-packages.py -A -d -c
/etc/rhn/spacewalk-api.cfg -m "${PKGNUM}" | tee -a
/var/log/rhn/spacewalk-remove-old-packages.py.log
