Cleanup
In an effort to conserve disk space, a cleanup
program named skulker
is run each week on erdos to delete old files
deemed to be junk. If users would always clean up after themselves,
we wouldn't need to run skulker, but experience has shown that it is
necessary.
skulker
looks through all the files in the user home directory
areas, seeking out and deleting those that meet its criteria for junk
and that have not been used within a given time, currently set as 90
days.
