newscacheclean: Purge the NewsCache to SpoolSize (newscache.conf parameter).

NAME

test - Purge the NewsCache to SpoolSize (newscache.conf parameter).

SYNOPSIS

newscacheclean [-h] [-s] [-p] [--version] [-c config-file]

DESCRIPTION

The newscacheclean command purges the Cache from NewsCache to the SpoolSize parameter specified in the newscache.conf file. The program newscacheclean walks through the directory tree of SpoolDirectory (newscache.conf parameter) and adds every newsgroup db and every articel file into the purge list. Every outdated external article is also inserted. Then the purge list is sorted by access time. The purge removes first all outdated external articles and then one article or newsgroup database after the other until SpoolSize (newscache.conf parameter) is reached.
