on Linux, it is a useful trick that the mtime for /proc/PID is the start time of the process. so I do this to clean up spool files which are left behind after a bareos-sd crash: find /srv/bareos/spool -name '*.spool' \! -newer /proc/$(pgrep bareos-sd) -delete this is safe even when there is no bareos-sd running, since the mtime for /proc itself is the boot time of the server. -- Kjetil T.
