That's not however to what he is referring. Not a cron job, but rather a way to specify directories to BE temporary. Sort of a flag or something. I've never heard of that before.

In that case, my guess is "directories as temporaries with time-outs" means you have certain log directories in *nix that are "cleaned up" based on date. This is typically done with a cronjob that uses find and simply removes old logs at a preset time (usually in the wee hours of the morning). Here is a find command to purge vsifax outbound faxes over 7 days old. find /usr/vsifax3/faxq/vsifax -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; I believe that command added to the cron to run everyday at 1am would define /usr/vsifax3/faxq/vsifax as "temporary with time-outs". 1 0 * * * /usr/bin/find /usr/vsifax3/faxq/vsifax -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; #Clears vsifax report files and faxes older than 7 days -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 3:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [U2] Universal COMO To be more clear <<declare certain directories as temporaries with time-outs.>> -----Original Message----- From: Dan Ell <[email protected]> To: U2 Users List <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, Jan 23, 2013 11:27 am Subject: Re: [U2] Universal COMO According to Google....

What might be a *con* ? This isn't a pro, in that that is perfectly possible, certainly in *nix. I'm not sure how it's done, but it's pretty standard to declare certain directories as temporaries with time-outs. Just add the &COMO& directories to that list ... you could probably automate that.
