[Mapserver-users] Program to clean up *gif files

[Martin, Daniel]

I tried the DM Solutions exe.  It works as advertised.  It obviously takes
into consideration the age of the file, and only deletes things that are
older than some amount of time.  That's excellent, considering problems
might occur if you delete a map while someone is actively downloading the
image.  

For curiosity's sake, could Daniel or anyone else at DM Solutions say what
that amount of time is?

Thanks,
Dan

For Unix, it's best to run a shell script through the cron utility. 
There is more info at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/manage.html
