Command-line tool to empty a folder in CMIS/Alfresco/Nuxeo/SharePoint/Documentum

Question

I often want to clear a remote CMIS folder programmatically (from a script).
For instance to remove test files or do some recurrent clean-up.

Requirements:

• Executable from command-line
• Takes a CMIS folder in input
• Remove all documents and sub-folders from that folder
• Gratis, preferably open source
• Works with Alfresco/Nuxeo/SharePoint/Documentum and as many other CMIS servers as possible

Answer 1

I did not find such a tool so I wrote this one:

https://github.com/nicolas-raoul/clear-cmis-folder

Usage:

./clear-cmis-folder.sh /the/folder http://the/cmis/url theuser thepassword

It removes all documents and folders under that path.
Gratis, MIT license.
Tested on Alfresco.
