Nirvana?

That find on the "remove after x days" was a sweet score! Smilie

I actually set it to 3 days to give the inevitable student that forgot to save to a flash drive the opportunity to save face. Though more often than not it's the Grad students that haven't learned this lesson yet and they lose months of work.

That did it. I've got it running on all our units without flaw. So now what?

Thanks so much for all the help [MA]Flying_Meat. And for the tips on what to read. I actually started teaching myself some Objective-C and even the little I've picked up so far in that helped me understand more some of the code you'd written.

I think the problem is finding and using on a regular basis practical uses for creating scripts. I'm not in an environment that requires much of it and being the only one doing it it makes it more of a challenge.

Any idea how scripting for Windows differs?
