[Mapserver-users] How to empty the TMP directory

[Gregory S. Williamson]

Guillaume ,

Mapserver seems to be done with the process once it puts the output files in the directory; you'll have to write a utility program to periodically delete old files. There used to be a utility on the MMS site for doing this under windows; I think a search of the list's archive would turn up the code. Unders *nix you'll want a cron job that runs a script that deletes all files that are older than some amount of time. I can provide a snippet that works under Solarix but don't know about the linux variants.

Mapserver.
