[Mapserver-users] Deleting old GIF image files

[Gregory S. Williamson]

I found a utility that can do this for windows versions ... I don't see it in the downloads/utilities list currently. It was in a 50k file called "deltmpfiles.zip" ... I don't want to clutter mail unnecessarilty  but if you can't find it I will send you my version.

====================
This is what the "readme" file says:
deltmpfiles executable. Used to delete files older that a certain time.

Usage : deltmpfiles <directory> [hour]

<directory> :  is the path to the directory where you want to delete files.
[hour] : optional. Delete files older than X hour (default value is 1 hour).


Example of Usage with NT scheduler :

1) Create a .bat file (ex : delfiles.bat) and add the following line
   c:/deltmpfiles e:/tmp/ms_tmp

2) schedule the job using the At NT command :
  at 03:00 /every:M,T,W,Th,F,S,Su "c:\delfiles.bat"

   
 This will delete all files older the 1 hour in the directory e:/tmp/ms_tmp. 
 It will run every day at 3 am.

Subject:	[Mapserver-users] Deleting old GIF image files

Hi

I would like to know if anyone can suggest a sollution to my problem. I 
have used MapServer to generate mapImages on the www.langelandatlas.dk 
website. The problem is, that the ms_temp folder which contains the GIF 
image files rapidly is filled with old image files which are no longer 
used. Can MapServer be set ud to automatically delete the image files it 
has created after they have been used?

Sincerely
