Quick and Dirty…Ooohhhh….Yeahhhh December 9th, 2010
Quick and dirty is how I like it when I have 4000 menial tasks to get done. So another oldy but goody that I had to dig up today was how to delete a full directory structure and its contents from a Cisco files system. So here it is enjoy.

delete /recursive /force flash:(enter the root file name)
So delete is the easy one.
/recursive sets the flag to recursively cycle through the whole directory structure you specified. So you should probably never type
delete /recursive /force flash: BAD DON’T DO IT!
And finally /force eliminates all the are you sure you don’t want to shoot yourself in the forehead messages.
Again quick and dirty saves time but if your dumb about using it can get you in trouble.

From there you are presented with ASA like login which is where the problems begin. If your are running the default java config the IPS screen will crash stating that you do not have enough memory allocated for java. In both Windows and Linux the solutions for this are pretty straight forward. In OS X however much searching and digging did not reveal the magic spot to change the memory settings. Thats where I come in. Read the rest of this entry »
