I should mention that what always intended to do is have the default period be something like four or eight hours, and then have another option so the user of 'lpc' could request a different safety margin. At RPI 'lpc cleans' are run every day, so it's important to minimize the danger of blindly running it. [I don't want to do that in this update, but it's what I meant to do in RPI's version. It'd be easy enough to add in some later update, once a plausible syntax is picked. Maybe just 'lpc clean -h 2 ...'] Also, apologies if that message was a bit long. I had lost track of how large the patch had become... -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-audit" in the body of the message
