🧹 RETRACE-SERVER-CLEANUP 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Retrace Server Manual — this is the page for retrace-server-cleanup, and it's literally the little goblin that comes through and takes out the trash. 🗑️✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

retrace-server-cleanup — Collects garbage from Retrace server.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

retrace-server-cleanup

no args, no flags, no drama. she just runs. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this tool collects different kinds of garbage created by Retrace server. like, all the messy leftovers. it's giving janitor but make it glamorous. 🧚

here's the tea on what she actually cleans up:

  • Deletes old tasks based on mtime. Will remove the tasks with a failure status with an mtime defined by the DeleteFailedTaskAfter variable set in the configuration file. Successful tasks will be deleted with an mtime defined by the DeleteTaskAfter variable set in the configuration file. (two different clocks, bestie — failures and successes get their own expiry timers, both straight from the config file. 📋)
  • Kills tasks running for a long time (> 1 hour). yeah, if a task's been hogging the vibe for over an hour, she's ending it. not me being the timeout police. 💀
  • Cleans up fakeroots and task directories from jobs finished in an unexpected way. when a job goes out sad and weird and doesn't clean up after itself, she does it for them. 🫶
Should be set in root's crontab to run every hour. ⏰ hourly queen. set it and forget it.
