Nope,don;r think that's what I missed. At the heyday of frustration I
manually rm'ed a file or two as rot -- no problem deleting it.
The rule I tried was like:
tidy:
imb01::
/u05/stories pat=* r=1 age=30
And no file,even the october 1 files, were touched. Saw in the cfengine
run output that it looked at the dir, but no log of even an attempt at
removing a file.
