    Desired Outcome Goal:
    Change how long files are saved in the scratch directories of the libraries and libris.data

    Procedure:
    There is a job called $aleph_proc/elib_opryd that will clean up more or less every directory related to elib_jobs (among them libris.data)

    Each area that is cleaned has its own environment variable to control how many days to spare.

    This can be set in configuration file $alephe_dev/local/elib_opryd.conf

    Like:

    setenv savetime_libris 60

    If the script runs un-changed it will take away every scratch files that is older than 30 days
    More details about the possible variables can be found in the header of script $aleph_proc/elib_opryd (in Danish language)

    # elib_opryd <local>
    #
    # Hvis local er angivet ryddes kun op i $ALEPH_LIBS
    #
    # Rydder op i aleph kataloger
    #
    # savetime kan sættes i aleph_start.private
    # Er den ikke sat bliver default 30 dage
    #
    # Der kan også sættes mere specifikke savetimes i
    # $alephe_dev/local/elib_opryd.conf
    #
    # savetime_libris 3 Libris filer
    # savetime_burk 3 Burk filer
    # savetime_log 3 Filer i log
    # savetime_fsymbol 3 fsymbol filer (bruges af ALEPH)
    # savetime_tmp 3 Filer i tmp (gælder også fsymbol filer)
    # savetime_int 3 Filer der bruges af elib_30 (genudskriv)
    # savetime_kvit 7 Filer i postkvit
    # savetime_scratch 14 Filer i scratch kataloger
    # loglines 500 Antal linier i logfiler
    #

    As soon as the script is modified and the configuration table completed,
    activate it via $alephe_tab/job_list.

    Example:
    !!-!!!!!!!!-!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-!!!!!!
    W1 05:30:00 N elib_opryd.log /exlibris/aleph/a21_1/aleph/proc/elib_opryd

    Additional Information

    This script is only included in the Aleph version, when region 'ELIB' (Scandinavia) is activated.
