Empty Recycle bin after x Days via Cron script

zash1958

Hi,

as stated above. We want to empty the recycle bin after x Days via cron script automagically. In Zarafa there was an appropriate Python script for doing this.

We found here

https://stash.kopano.io/projects/KSC/repos/core-tools/browse/kopano-cleanup

a script for doing this in Kopano. But the script claims

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “./cleanup.py”, line 8, in <module>
import kopano
ImportError: No module named kopano

What is missing here and what can we do?

TIA

Uwe

Try installing python3-kopano and then try again.

python3-kopano

since the shebang is # !/usr/bin/env python its probably rather python-kopano (the python2 variant) that is missing.

Hmmmhhhhhh ???

@zash1958 you are sadly not sharing which versions you are using. the message you get could have multiple causes. for example because packages in our repo have been updated meanwhile and you local packages would need to be updated (since python-kopano depends on a newer version of python-mapi than you have currently installed).

hmm,

https://github.com/thctlo/Kopano and get the file : wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thctlo/Kopano/master/get-kopano-community.sh | bash
This script pull the community files for your OS and setup a repo so you can use apt-get to install.

So get the script, run it, then type : apt-get -f install or dpkg-reconfigure -a

and setup a repo

his error message above makes it seem that he already has a repository, but he rather has some dependency issues.

thctlo

@fbartels i’ll bet he used dpkg -i *.deb
As far i’ve seen there are not dependency issues atm in kopano.
This at least makes sure all needed packages are available.

his logging suggests otherwise:

apt-get install python-kopano

my money is on a difference between the already installed packages and the packages currently available from the repository.

hmmm… i’ve just tested this. Debian stretch.

 python kopano-cleanup.py

I’ll have a better look here.

apt-get install python-kopano

and try again …

ok found it.

edit kopano-cleanup.py

The fist line :

# !/usr/bin/env python

changed to

#!/usr/bin/env python

just remove the space after #

now after chmod +x , it works with ./kopano-cleanup.py
and, you must install : python-kopano python-mapi

it does not work when only : python3-kopano python3-mapi are installed.

This is due Debian stretch its default :

ls -al /usr/bin/python
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jan 24  2017 /usr/bin/python -> python2.7

But it does work fine, if you dont install python-kopano python-mapi and change python to python3 in the first line.

Thank You!!!

running

python3 ./cleanup.py --user xxx

runs perfectly !
