No cleanup happening

[Stuntman]

Hi Jere!

For some reason Dirmon2 is NOT cleaning up after itself as it used to.. I guess it is probably some logic error on my part.. but I don't see how..

I have it set to remove txt files if no matching mpg file exists (I use Sagetv)..

Here is what is in my .ini file... Thanks!

[Cleanup Description 1]
Directory = C:/video
Process Subdirectories = 1
Target Extension 1 = txt
Trigger Extension 1 = mpg
[Cleanup Description 2]
Directory = D:/TV
Process Subdirectories = 1
Target Extension 1 = txt
Trigger Extension 1 = mpg
[Cleanup Description 3]
Directory = F:/Video
Process Subdirectories = 1
Target Extension 1 = txt
Trigger Extension 1 = mpg

It looks correct to me. Did DirMon2 ever clean up correctly for you? The main reason I ask is that I haven't touched that code since I wrote it.

Are you running it as a service? Over a network? As local service or a user? Does that account have delete access?

I'll put some logging of what it tries to delete in the Activity Log for next version.

I'm not sure which version this thread was initially speaking about, but I'm trying to do this using v0.5.9.32 with no sucess.

How is this function supposed to work? When it cycles through a directory is it also looking for stray files (as per the condition) then deleting them or is there some trigger that must occur before this cleanup occurs?


Edit: I just realised that potentially I could do the cleanup by creating a cleanup job instead. Might be more powerful too


Edit2:: After leaving it for several hours, it did finally clean up.
