[mapserver-users] temporary files deletion

[Sam Paske]

On Windows 2000 Server we use a simple .cmd file that has one line:
del C:/temp/*.gif

The cmd file is run daily by the Task Scheduler service, which is available
on Win98SE and above, I believe. The Task Scheduler is usually found in the
Start Menu in Program Files->Accessories->System Tools.

.cmd files are similar to batch files (.bat) so perhaps on Win98 a batch
file would work when scheduled to run by the Task Scheduler. Since you have
Win95, perhaps you could run the bat file automatically when the machine
reboots. Assuming you reboot daily at the most and weekly at the least, this
could meet your needs if the machine has enough disk space.

Yes, why not, but, what about mapServer under W95 which is not provided with
a scheduler/chrontable ?

Someone here was trying to use a VB script into an HTML page ( like some
virus do ), but we could'nt achieve it.

Any Idea ?

Hi There,

 For those of you who use windows, there is an executable on our site that
can be used to delete tmp files created by mapserver.

Note : I did some initial testing but I will start testing it on our
internal server begining today.

Later,
