Script to delete Inactive systems on Red Hat Subscription Management (RHSM)
As a user of RHSM, I frequently find myself needing to clean up after systems which I have deleted, but not properly unregistered. In lieu of performing this manually, this script takes of that task.
By default, rhsmDeleteInactiveSystems.py only reports on systems that are inactive, defined as any system that has a lastCheckin date older than the number of days you specify. This allows you to report on the inactive systems in the event that they aren't managed by you or to get an idea for what is going to be deleted prior to actually doing anything destructive.
↪ ./rhsmDeleteInactiveSystems.py -l rh_user_account -p '*****' --days 45

When ready, simply run the script again with the --delete switch to actually delete
the inactive systems.
