Bob, So if that is true, then splitting out the command and running it more often would help since 7 days is really the same as 168 hours. For example, doing programmer output in the mid afternoon and early evening (depending upon how much of your purging is programmer output). Or even issuing the command twice during the night, the first time with HOURS>156 and then with HOURS>168. Or something similar, you get the idea...
