Its been awhile since I've lurked at LNO .. I'll have to look around a bit..
Anyways, I was in the middle of writing a small cleanup util in perl which basically reads an "ini-style" type config and purges files matching a regex. Each reg has a timeframe /etc. etc...
Something in the format of :
#-------------
[sect1]
path = /path/to/stuff
timeframe = DAY
filematch = ^DB\_\d{6}\.(dat|idx)$
filetime = 7
[sect2]
path = /path2
timeframe = WEEK
filematch = ^\X\.\d{6}
filetime = 1
etc..etc..
The part I haven't done is to check the owner of the file and ensure that any process by that user is newer than the file. Basically we have X applications that create various types of temp or working files.. I'd like a common app to purge these.. ie: Not having to think about script X on system 4 is different then the one on sys1/etc..
I just wanted to check if anyone knew of something already out there.. Not sure if this is topic.. close enough...
Thanks!
