[Condor-users] Checkpoint server housekeeping

[Preston Smith <psmith@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm addressing cleaning up leftover crud in checkpoint server spool  
dirs, and see in the manual

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.0/3_8Checkpoint_Server.html#SECTION00482000000000000000

a mention of  sbin/condor_cleanckpts, which doesn't seem to exist in  
any of my installations.
Maybe just a documentation update needed..


In src/condor_ckpt_server/WISDOM, it suggests housekeeping checkpoint  
servers with a
	find *.*.*.*/* -atime +${time} -exec ls -l {} \; -exec rm {} \;
  and crossing one's fingers.

It seems to me that one could probably query to see if a job still  
exists by parsing the file name, and then be fairly sure the job isn't  
still around. Before I write such a tool, does anybody else have any  
wisdom to share about housekeeping checkpoint servers?
