I would make all three an option in a conf file. I desperately want a configuration mechanism but have none. Anybody: Are there any free configuration libraries or am I going to have to cook my own up (again :<)? Ben, how about till we have configuration just delete after 3 months, compress after 1 week. I think such a script belongs in the debian/ directory or the utils/ directory.. Thanks, Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
