EDIT: Solved!

Alright #Linux friends:

I need to insert some Special Magic into my #Bash script that produces daily backups for my instance.

It needs to read the contents of the backup folder, determine how many backups exist and delete the oldest, keeping (x) number of backups.

What might that look like?

Wow, looks like #bash has #AI now! This will be a big help for my #productivity... :ms_sparkles:
Screenshot of a terminal emulator session, with lots of "bash$" prompts which I won't include. At the bottom of the screen is a banner which reads "bash(1) now has AI!". The user types pydf. Disk usage information appears. One partition is 94.8% full. AI: Hey, it looks like you're low on disk space. Want some help with that? User: um, yep ok i guess. AI: Great! Let's dive into that... AI: It looks like you have some redundant files cluttering up your hard drive. User: like, temporary files i'm not using any more? AI: That's right - you're so clever! Let me see what I can do to assist... AI: Thinking AI: Here's a command that should help to free up some hard drive space. I'll paste it into my prompt so you just have to press RETURN. Always happy to help if you have any problems! The prompt now reads rm -rf / Underneath the prompt the following words appear... The remote host has closed the connection.
#ai #bash #productivity
