Delete recordings cron task

delete_recordings.sh

#!/bin/bash


#  Delete WAV recording files after X days. Script can be modified to match different file types or longer day interval if needed
#  NOTE: Script below is set to dry-run, it will not delete any files until you add the -delete flag. 
#        Deletion will remove files permanently, there's no easy way to undo that.
#        Please update the script to delete only when you confirm it it working as expected.
# 
# Latest version:
#      https://gist.github.com/hgaibor/efeaf6b8081ed5c49791dc31cec1dee8
# 
#
# Usage: 
#   1. Create a bash file (.sh) preferably under asterisk user directory.
#   2. Change file permissions to allow execution by asterisk user
#   3. Call script either manually or via CRON task
