Not as far as I know. As I understand it, the concern here is security. Any filesystem delete (or move) would be protected by an exec privilege and would be restricted by filesystem permissions. But it's even more secure to omit the functionality completely. The same logic applies to any kind of direct process control.
Of course, xdmp:save is almost as dangerous. If the filesystem permissions allow, you can overwrite any file on the filesystem.... -- Mike On 14 Sep 2012, at 07:54 , Keith L.
