Similarly, it'd seem that you could make a relatively quick change
(addition) to pqact.conf, posting the data to a new filesystem as
needed, and remove that instance when you're done. Or am I missing
something fundamental here?

It seems to me that the best way to do this is to have a separate
file system (directories) that you can move files that you want to
keep into. I'm assuming that "interesting cases" pop up unexpectedly
but that you can decide that they are a "keeper" soon enough to save
them from the scour program. A script that would go through all the
directories and move/copy the desired files over into the "protected"
file system would be easy to run. The "protected file system" could
look like the gempak file system, so that a simple directory pointer
change would make the software easy to manage.

Couldn't you just "chown" or "chmod" the directories/files to keep the
ldm user from being able to delete what you want to keep?
Just one who tends to seek simple solutions, though I've been known to
find the most difficult way to complete a simple task in the past! (-:

Jared,
I've looked through the man pages and doc's re: scouring and, having
not found anything, am curious about the following. Is there a way
to tell the ldmadmin scour utility to ignore certain directories?
Yes. You configure scouring by setting directories and file name
masks in the ~ldm/etc/scour.conf file. To not scour a directory,
simply don't include it in your scour.conf.
In my case, I'd like to keep some case study data in the same directory
as some stuff that needs to be scoured. Is there a way to tell scour
to ignore something, for example, over a certain age or as listed in
some kind of .ignore pattern action or file (a la CVS)?
There is no 'ignore' pattern, but you can specify a simple regular
expression as the pattern for files you do want to scour. The files
you want to keep would, therefore, have to be named so that they don't
match the pattern.
Any help appreciated!
