Valerio,
I think that most people just set up a cron job or a scheduled job on their
server to delete all of the temporary images at some periodic interval. (e.g.
24hrs, 12hrs, 1hr) Your interfval would depend on the number of images that
you are generating, disk space, etc.
In the code that you use to delete the files, you may want to look at the
timestamps on the images and only delete images that are at least 1 minute old,
so you don't accidentally delete an image before it can be used by the page
that called it.
David.

Thanks for the quick reply,
When you run this function? after each requests ? but if so, the client is able
to read the image before you delete it ?
best regards,
Valerio

Hi,
Why don't you write method for deleting png .mapserver will take
care about creating an image.I have C# code.
The below code will delete all the files form OutputDIR.
I hope it helps you. Or At least you can get some idea about your task.
Thanks and Regards
Venkat.
public void Deleteimages()
{
try
{
foreach (string f in
System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(OutputDir))
{
System.IO.File.Delete(f);
}
}
catch (Exception exp)
{ }
}

Dear all,
I have a demo where I'm using mapserver cgi interface. I'm using the browse
mode so each time mapserver receive a request, it creates a temporary png on
the server filesystem.
Do you know how and when i can delete those temporary image since they are used
only one time ?
An attacker could easily fill all the server HD locking all the system.
Thanks
Valerio
