glite-lb-purge – utility for removing inactive jobs from the L&B database
Synopsis
glite-lb-purge [options]Description
glite-lb-purge is utility for removing inactive jobs from the L&B database. By default, it removes jobs that reached CLEARED, ABORTED and CANCELLED state and also OTHER and DONE jobs that are inactive for specific (rather long) time. It is a command line frontend to server internal purge. It is used by administrators of bkserver and it is not supposed to be used at the user level.glite-lb-purge may be run periodically in order to avoid database overflow, however the periodic purges are done by server itself, so check the configuration of the server first.
