Hello group. I've got a question re RDCatch, and perhaps the legacy LAB program 
(Linux Audio Backstop) for anyone familiar with it.

One channel of RDCatch/LAB is in use as an hourly logging machine; capturing 
and logging all broadcasts for commercial verification or FCC compliance. Every 
35th day, the system would auto-delete the oldest 28 days in the relevant audio 
directory. At the end of day 28 out of each 35, the system would send out an 
email that says: "Time to offload the logger. You have [7 days]". This gives an 
archivist four weeks of material to transfer to more permanent media, inside a 
one-week "safe" period to do so before deletion. During the safe period, 
RDCatch/LAB has already begun the first week of a new cycle.

This is probably best suited as a cron job, unless there is something in either 
LAB or RDC that already does this. If the former, I need some help in fleshing 
out syntax to make this work. I am by no means a Linux Power User - my complete 
body of knowledge is just above, "Ugh, fire bad!" - so this will probably be 
copy-it-now and figure-out-later.

Thanks for your help.
