Is This A Safe Script To Use For A Cron?

[andypeat]

Hi all,

 

I am still new to this, and only have a few basic needs (for now).

 

Basically, I fill a folder daily with images (stop motion type) and then backup the days worth of images. I would then need to delete them ready for the next day.

Is this a good script to use:

 

rm /home/username/public_html/webcam1/*.jpg

 

and do I just run it as a cron command?

 

thank you in advance for any help

Yes, that is a valid command and can be used. Whether or not it actually removes the images will depend on permissions of the images.
