rusnapshot: Delete all `hourly` snapshots.
$ sudo rusnapshot -c ${path-to-config-toml} --list --keep ${0} --clean --kind ${hourly}
try on your machine
This command is using the "rusnapshot" command-line tool with sudo (superuser) privileges to perform certain operations. Here is a breakdown of each part:
- "sudo": It is a command that allows a user to execute a command with administrative privileges (usually as a superuser).
- "rusnapshot": It is the name of the command-line tool being executed.
- "-c ${path-to-config-toml}": It specifies an option to provide the path to a configuration file (in TOML format) needed by "rusnapshot". The
${path-to-config-toml}
placeholder should be replaced with the actual path to the configuration file. - "--list": It is an option that tells "rusnapshot" to list the available snapshots.
- "--keep ${0}": It specifies an option to keep a certain number (0 in this case) of snapshots. The
${0}
placeholder should be replaced with the desired number of snapshots to keep. - "--clean": It is an option that enables the cleaning mode, potentially deleting unnecessary snapshots.
- "--kind ${hourly}": It specifies the kind of snapshots to clean. The
${hourly}
placeholder refers to the desired type of snapshots, which is assumed to be set in the configuration file (specified earlier by-c
option).
Overall, this command executes the "rusnapshot" tool with sudo privileges, provides the path to a configuration file, lists the available snapshots, keeps 0 snapshots, enters cleaning mode, and specifies the kind of snapshots to clean (likely hourly snapshots).

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
