  • Remove entire hierarchy - INN2

    From Internetado@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jun 15 01:36:57 2025
    Hello,

    Is there a command to delete an entire hierarchy?

    Let's say - microsoft.* ?

    Thank you,

    Eduardo.

    I'd use (untested!)
    #v+
    source innshellvars
    awk -F ' ' '/^microsoft\./{print "ctlinnd rmgroup "$1}' < $ACTIVE > inspect.me # less inspect.me
    mod-active inspect.me
    #v-

    Couldn't you just delete the folder from your news spool?

    Yes, he could, but that would not remove the entire hierarchy, it
    would just remove all articles in that particluar hierarchy from
    the server plus it would cause strange error messages.

    (Please read about "active", "history" and "overview").
