Delete file from the external task

Hi

Solaris/TS 5.52

I have workflow where I call external task. In the perl script I want to delete file from the workarea. Of course "`rm filename`" works, but I'm not sure that is the right way to do that. I didn't find any suitable command line tool...

How this should be done?

I'm pretty sure that `rm $filename` or unlink $filename is all you can do. To my knowledge there is no delete file CLT available. If I'm wrong, someone will take great pleasure in correcting me.

For performance reasons, if nothing else, I advocate using the built in function: unlink() rather than executing another process to run '/bin/rm' within. Not only that, but it's more portable too.

And no - there is no iwdelete, iwrm, CLT - the file you are deleting is in the workarea and TeamSite will take care of it when the file is submitted.
