Tom (and everyone),
Thanks - that's what we're doing now. Guess I wasn't really clear
(sorry!). My situation is the following...
Say for example one was saving incoming files in the following way:
/mnt/ldm/data/YYYY/mm/dd/YYYYmmdd.txt
where YYYY = 4 digit year, mm = 2 digit month, dd = 2 digit day
Ok, say I only want to keep /mnt/ldm/data from filling up, yet
don't want to delete files from certain directories,
eg. 1999/05/03 (wouldn't have any idea why I picked that date :-P
Obviously, if I just put /mnt/local/data in the scour.conf, the
pattern would get applied to everything in there, and the case
study days would get nuked. I suppose one could write a cron
script to create a new scour.conf file each day with that day's
YYYY/mm/dd in it, to add that to the end of the root data dir
on the appropriate line in the file. Alternatively, one could
have a script that added certain (protected) days' patterns to
a "NOT" condition in the regular expression (maybe?). My basic
question is: does anyone have experience with this sort of issue
and is there a solution (other than what I've mentioned) for this?
Thanks Again!
