CLEANUP_REF(8)

NAME
cleanup_ref - Clean up References database of ifmail FTN gateway

SYNOPSIS
cleanup_ref

DESCRIPTION
cleanup_ref delete old entries of the References database, according to the implementation of this suppression in ref.c.
This module is a wrapper.
It uses the ref_cleanup() function to suppress old entries in the database

You should run this program regularly from cron in order to purge the References database and avoid it to grow out more than needed.
It takes no parameters (the References database pathname and days before expire are hardcoded, see section BUGS), and outputs to stdout a report for each entry in the database.

FILES
/var/spool/ifmail/refdb
    References database

$IFLIBDIR/config
    ifmail configuration file. Not used by cleanup_ref but is there that the References database true pathname is set.

BUGS
- Hard-coded constants; maybe should use lib.a
- See ref.c

BASED-ON
refcleanup.c PV001 of 19/02/96 MSC96
