NAME

dumpnet.cleanupPolicy - apply a cleanup policy

SYNOPSIS

dumpnet.cleanupPolicy DIR POLICY [EXCLUDE_FILE]

DESCRIPTION

dumpnet.cleanupPolicy will list all files that should be deleted in DIR according to POLICY. It will extract the the policy element names and their arguments from POLICY. For each policy element name dumpnet.cleanupPolicy.POLICY_ELEMENT_NAME will be called with the arguments specified. Please see dumpnet(8) for details. For the policy keepAllSinceLev0_2,keepYearly_lev0 it would call:

 - dumpnet.cleanupPolicy.keepAllSinceLev0 2
 - dumpnet.cleanupPolicy.keepYearly lev0

This results in a list of grep patterns for files to keep. All files not matching one of these patterns will be cleaned up. Please note that only files matching SID* will be considered for cleanup. Files containing the string ``MASTER'' or ``MODIFED'' will always be kept.

OPTIONS

EXIT STATUS
