[pmmail-list] clearing trash performance - update

[Dave Saville]

All

You may recall some weeks back I was complaining about the time
PMMail/2 takes to delete trash older than n days.

At the time I posted a rexx script to clear trash faster. I found out
over Christmas, with some help from the XWorkplace developers, that
whilst I thought I was being clever in using sysdestroyobject to do
the delete, rather than calling another program, in fact using this
sys call has a side effect of filling up the ini files.

It seems sysdestroy object says - never seen this object before - I
shall create an ini entry for it, then deletes the file and of course
the ini info is there for ever.

So to those of you who use my script.

1) Change the two instances of sysdestroyobject to invoke del or rm
instead.

2) run checkini to get rid of the no doubt masses of non existing
files.

Sorry for any inconvenience, one lives and learns :-)
