- EXTENDED SYNTAX IN TRASHALL.LST AND KILLALL.LST
-
- Extended syntax in TRASHALL.LST/KILLALL.LST-files now allows to specify
- maximum age and minimum downloads for each file listed there. Also a
- new feature allowing to automatically delete files when there are more
- than a certain number matching in one area.
-
- Works like this:
-
- (File: KILLALL.LST):
-
- ;
- ; Demo Listfile
- ;
- NODELIST.*, MaxCount 5 ; Hold a maximum of 5 nodelists
- NODEDIFF.*, Days 30 ; Kill all diffs older than 30 days
- FIDONEWS.*, MaxCount 5 ; Hold a maximum of 5 newsletters
- TELIX425.* ; Kill each hack version of Telix 4.25
- GOOFUP.*, Days 200, Dlds 3 ; Kill this file if older than 200 days and
- ; downloaded less than 3 times
-
- The global values from "KILLFILE" and "TRASHFILE" will be applied to all
- files except those matching one of those in that lists. The values "DAYS"
- and "DLDS" are ANDed (as you can see above).
-
- You may also enter "FILE.*, Days 250, Dlds 3, MaxCount 4", FileHerald will
- then kill or trash this file when it is older than 250 days and downloaded
- less than 3 times. If then more than 4 files remain, the oldest will be
- removed.
-
- "MaxCount" always deletes or trashes the oldest matching files first, thus
- you will have the desired number of the latest versions of these programs
- in any area. Note that "MaxCount" is only applied to a single area, if these
- files are scattered over more than one they will not be detected!
