Re: [mapserver-users] Automatically Clearing Old Map Images
Thank you! I did a little research, and writing a .bat file to execute as a
scheduled task
is exactly what I needed. The file is simple:
@echo off
cd C:\OSGeo4W\tmp\ms_tmp
del *.png
cls
echo Your MapServer cache has been cleared!
echo.
pause nul
Saved as 'clearCache.bat' and added it as a scheduled task through Windows
System Tools. I added the message just for diagnostic purposes, but I'll
probably delete it once I'm sure this will work.

Yeah, typical cronjob approaches. I can't say for Windows, but for Linux
systems you'd create a /etc/cron.hourly file that goes something like
one of these, depending on your version of find:
find /maps/images.tmp -mindepth 1 -ctime +1 -exec rm -f {} \;
find /maps/images.tmp -mindepth 1 -ctime +1 -delete

Otherwise, three years from now when you're also generating JPEGs you'll wonder why your disk has filled up. -- HostGIS, Open Source solutions for the global GIS community Greg Allensworth - SysAdmin, Programmer, GIS Person, Security Network+ Server+ A+ Security+ ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
[mapserver-users] Automatically Clearing Old Map Images
I'm attempting to set up a web page based on the old 'Itasca' demo, but I will probably be hosting it with very limited web space. Has anybody come up with some means or method to automatically clear out old map images once they are no longer needed? In just a couple of days of testing the application, I managed to generate over 1500 maps for a total of about 10Mb.
