Description:
We have bib and item export jobs running every five minutes -- which causes our $alephe_scratch to become filled up. How can I change this? [ <Jerry Specht > ]

Resolution:
The intervals at which jobs run is controlled by $alephe_tab/job_list and ./job_list.conf (also accessible as util e/16/1 and 5).

This is what your job_list has:

00 D4 Y SYS01 p_export_marc SYS01
01 D3 Y SYS01 p_export_marc SYS01
02 D3 Y SYS01 p_export_marc SYS01
03 D3 Y SYS01 p_export_marc SYS01
04 D3 Y SYS01 p_export_marc SYS01
05 D3 Y SYS01 p_export_marc SYS01
06 D4 Y SYS01 p_export_marc SYS01


00 D4 Y ABC50 p_export_item ABC50
01 D3 Y ABC50 p_export_item ABC50
02 D3 Y ABC50 p_export_item ABC50
03 D3 Y ABC50 p_export_item ABC50
04 D3 Y ABC50 p_export_item ABC50
05 D3 Y ABC50 p_export_item ABC50
06 D4 Y ABC50 p_export_item ABC50

And this is what job_list.conf has:

! 1. Code
! 2. D(aily)
! 3. Start time
! 4. End time
! 5. Interval
!
!1 2 3 4 5
!!----!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!
D1 D 09:00 17:00 01:00
D2 D 08:00 23:00 05:00
D3 D 00:00 23:55 00:05
D4 D 05:00 23:55 00:05


To change the jobs to run every hour, you would change the job_list.conf D3 and D4 lines to:

D3 D 00:00 23:55 01:00
D4 D 05:00 23:55 01:00

and then do util e/15/2 to kill the job daemon and util e/15/1 to restart it.
