PURGE.NLM ------------- Program PURGE periodicaly scans the file server for salvageable files and purges them. Syntax: LOAD PURGE [/s] [/o] {}*"); Where: s ... starting hour of purging <0..24). Default is 20. o ... age of file in days (>=0) to be purged. Default is 7. {}* ... list of file extension masks to purge. Default is '*' (meaning *.* will be purged). There must be used at least one parameter. WARNING: Parameter /O and file masks make non-exclusive OR !!! (So '/o7 *' will purge all now !) Zero length files are purged immediately. Example: LOAD PURGE /S22 /O7 TMP BAK Purge.nlm starts its scan at 10pm and all files with zero length, extensions TMP or BAK or beeing deleted seven days ago will be purged. Program schedules itself as low priority, but I do not recommend to start it in production time or with backup utilities. Program creates log-file SYS:SYSTEM\PURGE.LOG into which important events are logged. Names of purged off files are not logged. On every start does program one scan on all volumes and then go asleep until next day. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: - PURGE is free áeta version.
