rt-clean-attributes(8)

✨ NAME ✨

rt-clean-attributes — bestie, this one cleans up your obsolete RT attributes 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

rt-clean-attributes
rt-clean-attributes --older 1M

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so boom: this script deletes obsolete "DeferredRecipients" attributes. That's literally its whole job and it eats every time 🔥

Now, why do those "DeferredRecipients" attributes exist in the first place? They're used by rt-email-digest to stash email that's meant to go out later — either daily or weekly, no cap. 📬

And here's the tea that makes the cleanup totally safe: rt-email-digest only ever processes transactions created at most one week in the past. So any "DeferredRecipients" attribute older than one week is never ever gonna be accessed again, which means deleting it is completely fine. Girl math that actually checks out for once 😭✨

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• --older — a date interval in the <NUM>[<unit>] format. The default unit is D (Days) — and H (Hours), M (Months) and Y (Years) are also supported. Pick your timeframe, queen 👑
• --verbose — shows extra output on the command line while it's running, so you can watch the whole thing go down 🎀

that's the whole page, you're welcome, no notes 💜
