EXPIRE(1p)                                              User Contributed Perl Documentation                                             EXPIRE(1p)

NAME

       expire -- expire Interchange session files and databases

VERSION

       1.1

SYNOPSIS

          expire [-ra] [-e expr] [-c catalog] [-d dir] [sessiondb]

DESCRIPTION

       Interchange's "expire" expires the various session database and temporary files used by the Interchange daemon.

       If the program "tmpwatch" is available, it is called with the appropriate arguments. Otherwise, Interchange will remove all files itself
       with a recursive routine.

OPTIONS

       -c name
           Expires the catalog "name" according to its settings. Removes all temporary files that are in a subdirectory one level below the
           directory itself.

       -d dir
           Sets the directory that will be checked for session files and/or temporary files.

       -e spec
           Accepts a Interchange expire time setting like "6 hours", "3 days", etc.  The expire time is applied directly to sessions, and may be
           padded for temporary files.
