Tom (and everyone), Thanks - that's what we're doing now. Guess I wasn't really clear (sorry!). My situation is the following... Say for example one was saving incoming files in the following way: /mnt/ldm/data/YYYY/mm/dd/YYYYmmdd.txt where YYYY = 4 digit year, mm = 2 digit month, dd = 2 digit day Ok, say I only want to keep /mnt/ldm/data from filling up, yet don't want to delete files from certain directories, eg. 1999/05/03 (wouldn't have any idea why I picked that date :-P Obviously, if I just put /mnt/local/data in the scour.conf, the pattern would get applied to everything in there, and the case study days would get nuked. I suppose one could write a cron script to create a new scour.conf file each day with that day's YYYY/mm/dd in it, to add that to the end of the root data dir on the appropriate line in the file. Alternatively, one could have a script that added certain (protected) days' patterns to a "NOT" condition in the regular expression (maybe?). My basic question is: does anyone have experience with this sort of issue and is there a solution (other than what I've mentioned) for this? Thanks Again!
