I was very low on disk space and netscape kept eating it all up--mine
would delete the cache, but wouldn't limit it at all. So I wrote a
script to search the /home directory structure and remove the caches
if they were greater than 1M. Whenever it removes one, it writes a
message to a log file in /var/log. Then I simply but a link to this
script in /etc/cron.daily.
Here's the script. Please look over it to make sure it will do what
you want (before you run it): it assumes that your user's home
directories are in /home.
--------rmcache.sh------------
#!/bin/bash
# usage: rmcache.sh
# This script searches the /home directory structure for .netscape/cache
# directories. If any cache directory is larger than $MAX_CACHE_SIZE,
# the directory will be removed
MAX_CACHE_SIZE=1000 # Maximum allowable cache size in kilobytes
DATE=$(date '+%b %d %r')
LOGFILE="/var/log/rmcache"
total=0
for dir in $(ls /home); do
if [ -d /home/$dir/.netscape/cache ]; then
curSize=$(du -sk /home/$dir/.netscape/cache)
# Strip the numeric part from curSize
curSize=$(expr "$curSize" : '\([0-9]*\)')
if [ $curSize -gt $MAX_CACHE_SIZE ]; then
echo "/home/$dir/.netscape/cache is ${curSize}K...removing"
#if [ "$1" = "-s" ]; then
rm -rf /home/$dir/.netscape/cache/*
# Write to log file $LOGFILE
echo "$DATE : removed /home/$dir/.netscape/cache
(${curSize}K)" >> $LOGFILE
#fi
fi
fi
done
