[rt-users] cli command to delete old tickets with shredder

[Flavio Moringa]

I guys,

I haven't come across a straight answer to this, so my apologies if this
has been answered before.

I have a 3.6 Request Tracker instance running.... (and no.. updating right
now is not possible)....

I want to delete all tickets (and respective attachments, etc) that are
older than 2 years...

My approach is using rt-shredder... by installing the cpan module (
http://search.cpan.org/dist/RTx-Shredder/lib/RTx/Shredder.pm)

So what is the  cli command to do this? I don't need backups.. so no dump
is required....

I have about 600 Gb worth of data.... 99% on the attachments table.... And
want to clean all this up...

There is an answer on the mailling list about this on Jul 13, 2004... that
simply says that to delete for a giving year do:

rtx-shredder YYYY-MM-DD

But seems to old...

Can you help me? seems like a basic think to do...

Thanks in advance.

Yours trully
