thx- super- i will try and test! thanks

great idea, but couldnt you add the options do delete in a sections where there i.e. only 1000 mb free space or something like that....

scull · 05-31-2003, 08:09 AM

Sure! .. I will add more options or "methods" lateron when i have more time at my hands.

next version ( v0.04 ) will have "number of folders/releases" controll ... and after that i will implement "size of sections" ( in byte ) controll ..

I just added a Log file to v0.03 .. so you know what was deleted and what day.

I also ReWrote the manual ( readme.txt ) .. Now it makes more sense ( i hope

)

hope you like it

.

Here it is ( v0.03 )

whau - now i must wait for midnight

scull · 05-31-2003, 08:55 AM

OR change your windows clock! .. i did that when i tested my program ...

. Turn it ONE day ahead .. that should do it .. but you will lose files ONE day to early

..

Godluck

.. I DO HOPE IT WILL WORK!

mapis · 05-31-2003, 09:02 AM

yes - i try it before, like you

on some tested private folder...
but now - it is running on my public ftp. and now i must wait, what will be do it in real world

thank you very much!

Hi ...

Here is the new verion with "Method 2" .. ( m2 ) ..
m2 keep x number of folders as specify and delete the rest.
Read the readme file to find out more about this feature.

have fun

Hello!

In ioByteKiller 0.05 i just added a feature that controlls free space on HDD, BUT it's individually for eatch section..

it's deleting folders/releases when section reach it's maximum size. You can set aprox "min" size and aprox "max" size..

Nothing happens UNTIL aprox "Max" size is reached, Then ioByteKiller deletes all old folders UNTIL aprox "Min" size is reached. it's useful if you DON'T want to remove ALL files in
a section.. now you have a "buffert"...

Read the ReadMe file for futher information and examples.

I'm woring on getting ioByteKiller to report to IRC Bots aswell, But i need som input from D1, if it's "legal" for my proggie to APPEND/ADD lines to ioFTPD.log.

Also working on "MOVING" folders / releases to other location when neede ( if specified ).

I hope that MOST of your need are filled with this release.

//Peace

One section can be controlled by two methods at same time? For example, delete folders older than 5 days and full section?
For next versions would be a great option to combine with actual zipscripts to do not delete incomplete folders.
Thx so much

mapis · 06-01-2003, 04:55 PM

yes! i have to another idea!

examle:
1) DivX - i set to deleto all filles older 10 days...
2) any of my user wants to download in another time - then, he create TAG - !!Do.not.delete-NAME.RLS (example)

Is it possible to implement something like this? Some exception? Any solutions is good for me!

Thank you very much!

Hi ! ...

I guess it should't be any problem to add 2 delete methods BUT after another ... the .ini file is read from the top and down .. so the method that meens most first and next row the same path BUT another delete method.

Example:

sections=2
path "d:\FTP\DVD-R" m1 10
path "d:\FTP\DVD-R" m3 200000000 350000000

here IF section get FULL BEFORE 10 days "m3" will "kickin" and do the job and the section will not be "flooded" with warez

mapis · 06-01-2003, 05:22 PM

hmm, now i have this problem

INI:
sections=1
path "D:\ftp\upload\APPZ" m1 5

but - when i run this - i see this> Run-time error "13" - type mismatch! I dont know why is it!

(

PS: i have installed vbrun60sp5.exe...

I messed you about this.. but others may want to know

I could add this in the .ini ( in future versions ).

delete_incomplete = 1 ( or 0 )
incomplete_tag = "(incomplete)-"

This way BK will look for incomplete tag before deleting any folders.. and if there IS a incomplete release it will not be TERMINATED .. hehe.

This will not be done in a second

.. i'm new to VB6 programming, so don't expect TOO mutch

.. I'll try my best!
