Deleting Server Based Items from Terminal

I'm trying to delete some problem files from our server using Terminal, but I'm running into trouble.
Is it even possible for Terminal to recognize server based files and folders? If not, does anyone have any other suggestions on how to delete these files from our server through one of our Macs?

What kind of server is this?
Can you ssh into your server as a privileged users (someone with full sudo access)? Or at least someone that has the rights to delete the offending files.
Can you use Screen Sharing to access the server, and connect as a privileged user, or at least a user that is allowed to delete the files you desire?
Is this server local, or is it a remote server, and you need to get through corporate firewalls?
Or are these server files on mounted volumes on your Mac? If they are a lot would depend on whether the mount user has been granted rights to delete files on the network mounted volume.
Or are these server files that have been transferred to your Mac, and you are just trying to get rid of them?
Besides addressing these questions, could you provide any other information that might help anyone trying to help, understand what the environment looks like.

    Are you talking about a server calendar that is NOT your mobileme calendar?

  • Deleting a single item from the trash.

    Hello
    Is there a way to delete a single item from the trash, while leaving all other items in the trash?

    I don't believe so and I'm not sure why you would want to.
    Items should not be placed in the Trash unless you intend to delete the items. The Trash is not designed for and should not be used as a temporary storage location.

  • How to delete a line item from the sales order

    Hi all,
    how to delete a line item from the sales order for which the production is already happened and it has been delivered. the production order status is DLV.
    Regards
    Kumar

    Hi
    U can do this in two ways one u can short close the order by entering Reason for rejection in VA02 at header level and if yr order is multiple line item order u can enter the reason for rejection in any of the line item which u don't want to deliver.
    This is called short close ( as the qty is not delivered fully).
    Thx.

  • How to delete the line item from a sales order

    Hi all,
    how to delete a line item from the sales order for which the production is already happened and it has been delivered. the production order status is DLV.
    Regards
    Kumar

    Hi Kumar,
    I think you can just delete it in the sales order directly, if you are using make-to-order scenario, then there will be special stock left for the sales order as the production has been goods receipt, you need to use MM transaction move the stock to unrestricted use stock. If you are using make-to-stock scenario, there should be no further problem. If you are using assembly order, please try to reject the sales order item to see if it could fullfill your requirement.

  • Delete a line item from Sales Doc type RE

    Unable to delete a line item from a sales order linked to document type RE.  Get a long runtime - no specific error message.  Use the 'Stop Transaction' option to end the transaction.
    Have done thorough testing and can delete line items linked to all other sales document types in our system.
    Researched SPRO to see if there was a line item deletion option that was not created for sales doc type RE - but can find nothing.
    On a critical time line here - this was discovered during Hotpak installation testing which is scheduled to move to PRD June 22.  Question as to why we have not run across this issue before now??  - I don't think we have had an occasion to delete a returns line item before - but I want to have the option if available.
    Any help to resolve this issue would be appreciated.
    Regards
    Patsy

    Thanks for your response.
    After creating document type RE, execute VA02 transaction, select line item, select delete line item icon.  The system goes into runtime and just stays there.  No error message, no abap dump.  To escape the transaction, I have to select 'stop transaction'.
    I have tested all other document types we use in our system,  (including our customized transactions) SO, CR, DR, etc., and the system allows line item deletion.

  • User needs to delete a line item from old STO

    Hi all,
    User needs to delete a line item from old stock transfer order and would like to be advised what he needs to do to delete the line item from the STO.
    On the STO, Goods Issue done and reversed also. Delivery completed indicator not checked. I aslo found that the payment has been made for the line item 40 for Freight. Carrier charges. It seems that the payment has been made/cleared to the vendor.  I think Due to this reason they are unable to remove this line item from STO. They have attempted to delete or block an item that is not yet closed. All down (advance) payments made to date have been taken into account.
    Can you please advice how to resolve this problem?
    Thanks in advance..
    Regards
    Suresh

    Hi,
    Delivery completed tick is also there for STO PO. If you are not getting it then check settings. Also you can mark deletion indicator for that line item. Or minimise quantity to goods received quantity.
    For STO if delivery is made from delivering plant but Goods receipt not done in receiving plant then that material remains in transit. Can viewed with ME5t. In this case that line item cannot be delted or delivery completed.
    Still your client wants to complete these type also better to leave decision to business if they want to reverse delivery (Stock of issuing plant will increase) or make Gr ( Stock of receiving plant will increase) Although they can adjust later with physical inventry process and make stock in system to real physical stock

  • REGARDING RESTRICT THE DELETION OF LINE ITEM FROM CONFIRMATION SCREEN

    Dear All,
    Plz let me know how can we restrict to delete the line item(components) from the goods movement screen of confirmation of order(Cor6n) screen.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Arvind S

    Hi Aravind
    i just want to restrict the deletion only for particular user id's.
    I know we can do through authorization by creating authorization object.. am i right??
    I am not sure bout any authorization object can help you. However you can have the transaction variant for COR6N with quantity field as output also note this can be user specific.
    So you have no need to have custom transaction or development.

  • BAPI for Deletion of line Items from PR

    Hi Experts,
                    I need to delete line items from Purchase Requisition when user check the check box.Check box available on output display i.e check box to delete item.
    thanks,
    santhosh.

    Use "BAPI_REQUISITION_CHANGE". Existing list of LIne items should be filled in the structure "REQUISITION_ITEMS_OLD" & New list of line items should be included in the structure "REQUISITION_ITEMS_NEW"
    OLD - will contain the records currently in database.
    NEW - fresh list of records (in your case exclude the line item which is to be deleted)

  • Reboot loop: Help me delete all login items with Terminal

    I updated my Macbook (5,1) from Lion to Mountain Lion and began soon thereafter to get the error that the computer had restarted after a problem. For a few days the computer would nevertheless reach desktop after a restart and could be used.
    I thought that perhaps the error came from the login items and saw on Rogue Amoeba's site that SoundSource isn't yet compatible with ML. Removing it seemed to cure the problem.
    But as of this morning the computer is stuck in a restart "loop". It shows the apple and spinner and a grey progress bar. When the bar is almost completed (a millimeter or so remaining) the computer restarts and does the same thing all over.
    I have now managed to get to the recovery partition with cmd-r. I have repaired the disk with DU and I would like to remove all login items using Terminal but haven't got a clue how to do it. I have searched but don't find good walkthroughs. So I would very much appreciate help on how to do this.
    My login items are Skype, Dropbox and iTeleport.
    Cheers and many thanks
    /p

    Thanks for the replies.
    @ mende1 - I did hold cmd-R to reach the recovery partition. How do I now leave safe mode (if it is stuck in that) and boot normally?
    @ Thomas - DU seems to be successful in repairing the disk. It doesn't report any errors - just says what it is "checking", "updating" and "adjusting" (not a very long list at all) - but it concludes with partition map appears to be OK.
    My other Mac has all my files so I don't mind reinstalling on this one, except for the fact that I would have to reinstall all the applications and I don't have them with me where I am at the moment.
    If I choose to reinstall when booted with cmd-r will it re-download or install from a local copy? Re-downloading will take forever because I only have mobile (3G) broadband here.
    Do I have any other options?
    Thanks for helping.

  • Deletion of line items from Sales Order using DTW

    Hi Experts
    I have 160 sales which all require a particular item needs to be
    deleted before they can be processed further.  It is ths same item on every order but
    doesn't appear at the same row number.  In some cases it may appear more than once
    on an order.
    The line item needs to be deleted based on the row numbers which could be different on every order (LineNum)
    Rather than have admin go through them 1 by 1 and delete the
    row is it possible I can use DTW to perform an update on each row to delete it?
    I'm not sure how to do this since I have only ever used DTW
    to add or edit.
    Thanks
    Geoff

    Hi,
    1. It is not possible to delete records using DTW, only importing new records or updating existing ones are supported. These are the only valid operations via DTW.
    2. It is possible to delete the contents of an edit text field by using the character / or -1. However it is not possible to clear an entire row/line using this notation.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Populator not working after deleting model and items from Oracle cofigurator.

    I had created a ATO model, and populated it to the Configurator, worked with it, created UIs, tested with OM (and BOM) worked alright.
    But, I had to delete the items and models in the Configurator as my playing around had messed it up. Now I populated it again from Oracle Apps, it is not bringing in the items (none at all) and it is not bringing in the options for option classes more then two level deep. Also, weirdly only the descriptions keep appearing in the Model tree node not the name, even if I choose it in the tree. I tried running purge configuraotr tables.
    Do you have any idea why this is happening. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you again.

    First, back up your Mac. To learn how to do that read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
    Then:
    Launch the Console app - it is in your Utilities folder. You can find it by selecting Utilities from the Finder's Go menu.
    If the log list column on the left is not already displayed, show the log list by selecting Show Log List from Console's View menu. Select Show Toolbar if it is not already shown.
    Locate system.log in the list and select it. Many date and time-stamped entries will appear, hundreds of them, and you must find the entries relevant to your Mac's problem.
    To do that click the Clear Display button in the Toolbar. All previously displayed log entries will reappear.
    Next: Perform whatever actions cause the Mac to exhibit the slow behavior. If the problem is caused by errors logged by the system, the Console window will show them being recorded in system.log.
    One or more of them, along with their time stamps, may reveal the reason for the problem you describe.
    Copy and paste those log entries in a reply. If hundreds of the same repetitive messages appear, please edit them before posting. There should be no need for more than 100 or so total log entries.
    Most of the entries will be cryptic but will contain information you might consider personal such as your Mac's name. If you do not want that information to appear, delete or obscure it when posting your reply. Leave enough information so that the entries can be deciphered.

  • Delete just three items from the right clic menu of a waveform graph

    I would like to delete some fonctionnalities from the right click menu
    of my waveform graph. If i use the specific function "delete menu", it
    works only if I want to delete all the right clic menu. But if I write
    the name of the specific item that i want to delete, this function
    returns an error.
    What's happening?

    I think you're trying to edit the default shortcut menu of an application item, which isn't allowed.  Another way to do this is to right click on the Graph->Advanced->Run-Time Shortcut menu->Edit
    Select Custom and then add in any items to want to be displayed.  This easily creates a customized menu.

  • Delete Free Goods Item from Sales Order Return

    Hi Gurus!
    Could you help me with my question below?
    Version 6.0
    We created a sales return with reference to a billing document containing a standard item and an inclusive free goods item.
    During sales order processing we are trying to delete the free goods item and system does not allow us to do it.
    Example:
    Item         Mat              Quant.
    10            AAA            10 bx              (Standard)
    11            AAA             2 bx          (Free Goods u2013 Inclusive) -> Try to delete this line.
    In our business customer can return any box/quantity and we need this flexibility to create returns with reference to both and one separated item.
    Do you know if it is missing any configuration o if there is any Note for this topic?
    Tks in advance for you attention.

    Hi,
    Free goods is determined automatically in the sales order so you cant delete it manually.
    Generally free goods are determined on particular quantity.
    Like for every 10quantity you will get 2free.
    So if you reduce the quantity of the main item then you free goods will automatically go.
    This is the one way in which you can do that.
    Other way is that create the new document pricing procedure and assign that one your return document type in VOV8.
    Then go to IMG u2013 SD u2013 basic function u2013 free goods u2013 condition technique for free goods u2013 activate free goods determination.
    Over here check whether your free goods is activated for the newly created document pricing procedure or not.
    If yes then remove that entry and save the setting.
    Now create the sales order and check out whether free goods is coming or not.
    Please assign the pricing procedure also for your newly created document procedure for your return document otherwise there will be no pricing the return document.
    Regards
    Raj.
