The cron job /var/dcc/libexec/cron-dccd is a good thing for DCC clients (systems using dccproc, dccifd, or dccm), because among other things it cleans the main DCC client log directory and the per-user log directories. It uses DBCLEAN_LOGDAYS in /var/dcc/dcc_conf. That cron job required by any DCC server. It also runs dbclean to expire old data in the server databases (both the main DCC server database and the greylist database if greylisting is used by the DCC clients). The cron job also does some sanity checking and restarts the server if it is not running but dcc_conf says it should be. The cron job is mentioned in the DCC installation instructions in the DCC source or http://www.dcc-servers.net/dcc/INSTALL.html Vernon Schryver [email protected] _______________________________________________ DCC mailing list [email protected] http://www.rhyolite.com/mailman/listinfo/dcc
