-
-
- The program FILESTAT.EXE has some new features that will enhance the
- overall performance of the FileStat package.
-
- FILESTAT.EXE will now accept several command line parameters to provide
- database maintenence.
-
- Calling FILESTAT with the /? option will present a help screen outlining
- the available options.
-
- OPTIONS:
-
- /CLEAN This option will mark all database records for deletion that
- have no corresponding file on the hard disk. You may have
- previously accessed files that are no longer on your system.
-
- /DAYS= This option, when used with a number i.e. /DAYS=30, will mark
- all records in your database with no activity in X days. The
- example above will mark all files with no activiity for more
- than 30 days.
-
- /HITS= Similar in usage to the /DAYS= option, this option will mark
- all records with accesses equal to or less than the number
- supplied. i.e. /HITS=2 will mark all records with total
- accesses equal to 2 or less.
-
- You may use any of these options together if you like. If you
- use the /DAYS= and /HITS= options at the same time, they will
- automatically become dependent on each other, meaning the record
- must meet BOTH the DAYS= and HITS= criteria.
-
- Example:
-
- FILESTAT /CLEAN /DAYS=60 /HITS=2
-
- This will mark any records that are no longer needed, then mark
- all records with 2 accesses or less, AND haven't been accessed
- in more that 60 days.
-
- /PACK This option will PERMENENTLY remove marked records from the
- database. The previously described commands will mark selected
- records to be deleted by the /PACK option. When marked, they
- become invisable to the other FileStat programs, but still remain
- in the database until the /PACK option is run.
-
- /UNDO This option will "un-mark" all records previously marked for
- deletion. This option will not recover records after /PACK
- option has been used.

- SUBJECT: Changes in FileStat version 1.08
-
-
- The program FSDEL.EXE has been added to the FileStat package. FSDEL.EXE
- ( FSDelete ) is a program created to delete files from a text file created
- with the NOTUSED program.
-
- To use FSDelete, type FSDEL filespec. Filespec must be the name of a
- NOTUSED text file. It is not necessary to type the full path name.
-
- Example:
-
- You want to get rid of all files with the extention .TMP.
-
- Run NOTUSED *.TMP then...
-
- Run FSDEL NOTUSED.TMP and...
-
- all files with the extention .TMP will be deleted!
-
- You can use these programs in a batch file if you like to perform these tasks
- on a regular basis.
-
- BE CAREFUL, FSDelete does not allow you to chance your mind once you
- have started the program so BE SURE that you really want to delete all the
- files in the NOTUSED text file.
