        Hint: Alternatively, use the --dry-run option to get an idea of what may be deleted

>

Backing up session zips prior to deletion

Retrieve the session IDs to back up 
docker exec -ti backend node dist/scripts/session-clear-up.js --quiet --dry-run > session-ids
Copy the session zips to a target path 
while read id; do
    echo "$id"
    docker exec -ti backend node dist/scripts/copy-zip-backup-file.js $id /tmp/$id.zip
done < session-ids
Delete the sessions

The --no-interaction option is available from v2.15.0.

while read id; do
    echo "$id"
    docker exec -ti backend node dist/scripts/session-clear-up.js --no-interaction --session-id $id
done < session-ids
