how to implement delete code in batch file?

Question

I have created batch file which starting & stopping celery services.

I want to implement code in batch file so that files older than week will be deleted.

celery_restart.bat

NET STOP "CeleryBeat"
NET START "CeleryBeat"
NET STOP "Celery2"
NET START "Celery2"

What have you tried? Have you considered using logrotate? Why did you use the python tag? — norok2

As I am using windows machine so not able to use logrotate so I have created batch file using which I am restarting celery services & able to rotate log file along with also. Celery create new log file every time I am restarting celery services using batch file. — Moon

For Windows:

ForFiles /p "your\folder\with\logs" /m *.log /d -7 /c "cmd /c del @file"

Add /s to delete log files in subfolders as well. If you want to delete all files in the folder older than 7 days, just remove the /m *.log option.

above code working. I also want to delete .pid files alongwith log files so is there any way to delete .pid files also with same line because currently I have used two lines one for .log & another for .pid.

I recommend running ForFiles /? from the command line - it's pretty self-explanatory (literally). However to do what you want, there's no easy option - that question is answered here: stackoverflow.com/questions/11719347/… (I would prefer the first solution given).

Or you can just run some for loops:

@echo off
set comms="CeleryBeat" "Celery2"
for %%i in (*.pid *.log do del %%i /Y
for %%a in (%comms%) do (
    net stop %%a && net start %%a
)

the && operator here will start the service only if the previous command exited with errorlevel 0
