[Mapserver-users] Deleting old GIF image files

[Antti.Roppola at brs.gov.au]

Or if you want something more demand driven, I added a few lines
to the PHP to delete all but the 10 most recent images.

Unlike a cron job, this will automagically clean up the directory
more often if required.

I personally use wsh script (Windows):

 <job>
 <script language="JSCript">
 var fso = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"),
  startDate = new Date(),
  folder = fso.GetFolder("D:\\tmp\\"),
  files = new Enumerator(folder.Files),
  file
 while (!files.atEnd())
 {
  file = files.item()
  if ((startDate - new Date(file.DateLastModified)) > 86400000)
  {
   file.Delete()
  }
  files.moveNext()
 }
 </script>
 </job>

 it is saved in CleanUpTemp.wsf file. I use Task Scheduling to run it from
 time to time (currently once per day). Script is launched by following
 command:
 C:\WINNT\system32\cscript.exe CleanUpTemp.wsf
