Judgement Day

What is this ???

Judgement Day is a scheduler service that deletes files and directories after a certain period of time passes

Although the program is a web server, it is meant to run locally

Usage

# jday $Port $BaseDir

Port → The port to use BaseDir → The base directory that this program is allowed to work on

About the BaseDir argument:

• The base directory path cannot be the same as the program's directory
• The program's directory cannot be one of the base directory's children

All the arguments are mandatory: there are no default values
In case of running without arguments, a quick help text with the usage will be shown
