Having the application do as much work as possible is usually a good idea if it knows what you want.  That's what makes it tough for application designers.  Determining how a certain feature should be designed is different for each end user.  A batch or VBS file to clean out files based on their creation or last modified date is very simple if you want this functionality.  It is risky to try to add particular features that may be great for some users but a headache for others. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rosiak, John To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 25, 2003 9:31 AM Subject: RE: [SA-list] Feature Requests Richard,   I have a similar problem with backup files for Oracle, and files for Remedy, but I use "countfiles" in SA to let me know when they are overflowing, then I use AT scheduler to invoke a series of delete commands.  Not sophisticated....but it works :)   John -----Original Message----- From: Richard Temple [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 25, 2003 6:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SA-list] Feature Requests That is a good point, but being a overworked and underpaid admin I like to have the application do as much work for me as possible ;) :)     Best wishes   Richard Temple -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Bulinckx Sent: 25 July 2003 11:39 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SA-list] Feature Requests We don't think it's the application that should delete files.  It's something the admin should do and therefore we never added this feature to Servers Alive.   dirk. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Richard Temple Sent: Fri Jul 25 11:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SA-list] Feature Requests Just a minor thing that would be good. Would it be possible to restrict the quantity of log files that Salive stores. For example, I tend to set Salive to create a new log each day - it would be good to only keep a maximum of 30 days of logs so that the disk does not fill up.       Best wishes   Richard Temple
