NAME

ppr-clean - Remove temporary files and old cache files left by PPR


SYNOPSIS

ppr-clean [--all-removable]


DESCRIPTION

This program removes old temporary files which may be been left behind by PPR when it was editing configuration files or processing print jobs. It is normally run once a day from Cron.

--debug
Normally ppr-clean displays information about files it is removing, but the --debug option makes its running commentary much more verbose.

--all-removable
The --all-removable option will cause ppr-clean to remove almost any files that PPR may have created. In other words, it will delete almost everything that it can without causing permanent damage to PPR. This will delete all queued jobs. Don't run this while the spooler is running as it would become very confused. Don't use this except as part of a script which uninstalls PPR.


FILES

The directories from which files are removed include /var/spool/ppr/ and its children, /tmp/, and some directories in /etc/ppr/.
