Re: [Declude.Virus] Commtouch/Temp files going back to last year?

Hi David, A while ago I was told these can be deleted almost immediatly but the running DecludeProc service has them locked so it will be needed to stop DecludeProc, remove the temp files and then start Declude proc. As part of my nightly routine I have now:

Thanks, I'll make it part of my monthly job that deletes files older than 30 days - that's tight enough for me. Of course, Declude or Commtouch should be cleaning up after itself (e.g., whenever new files/signatures are downloaded) - but that's a different story. From: supp...@declude.com

Thanks - downloaded and installed. I'll have to take a look at the integrated Sniffer. I got pulled away and never got back to it. I'll have to take a good luck at the rulebase update - on first glace it seems as if your script is leaving out the crucial SNF2CHECK to make sure that the

Hi Pete: Thanks for jumping in. 1. The SNF engine performs the SNF2CHECK task before it accepts a new rulebase I'm a little confused - the script replaces the rulebase - without checking. So what happens if the rulebase is bad. By the time the engine checks the good one is already rename and

Thanks If the rulebase does not properly authenticate in the SNF engine then the reload is rejected. Once the guard time expires the update script will be run again (by default after 3 minutes). Which also means, if the corrupt rulebase persists and the server or services happen to be

This is the answer directly from Commtouch: You can safely stop commtouch [declude] and delete all of these files. If any are needed, the application will download them again, but any handled in this matter should be a few days old. Usually Commtouch will clean up these files on its own, but

Thanks! DecludeProc should probably just delete that folder content when the service is restarted the first time before the first email is processed. Then CommTouch can reinitialize itself subsequently. From: supp...@declude.com [mailto:supp...@declude.com] On Behalf Of David Barker Sent:

I have a similar routine that I run, but I utilize a batch file that uses the command line forfiles utility. It was part of the windows resource kits and takes parameters like /d -7 which would affect files with a modification date of 7 days ago. No I have a little cscript I wrote that iterates
