The patch from ASTERISK-21965 was committed perhaps a bit too hastily. Walter and Tzafrir have pointed out numerous issues with the approach and have propsed an alternative in r/2757. Since it's not a time critical issue and is not worth holding up the release of 12 for it, I've gone ahead and reverted r394939 from 12/trunk and re-opened ASTERISK-21965. ........ Merged revisions 397938 from http://svn.asterisk.org/svn/asterisk/branches/12 git-svn-id: https://origsvn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk@397939 65c4cc65-6c06-0410-ace0-fbb531ad65f3
messages-expire.pl messages-expire finds messages more than X days old and deletes them. Because the older messages will be the lower numbers in the folder (msg0000 will be older than msg0005), just deleting msg0000 will not work. expire-messages then runs a routine that goes into every folder in every mailbox to reorganize. If the folder contains msg0000, no action is taken. If the folder does not, the rename routine takes the oldest message and names it msg0000, the next oldest message and names it msg0001 and so on. The file deletion is done by the -exec parameter to 'find'. It would be far more efficient to take the output from 'find' and just reorganize the directories from which we deleted a file. Something for the future... Keep in mind that messages are deleted at the beginning of the script you will have mailbox trouble if you check messages before the script reorganizes your mailbox. To use it, make sure the paths are right. Adjust $age (originally set to 31) if necessary.
