qmail clean.8
qmail-clean - clean up the queue directory
qmail-clean
qmail-clean reads a cleanup command from descriptor 0, performs the cleanup, prints the results to descriptor 1, and repeats. The response is a single character 'x' for invalid cleanup command, '!' if it was not able to cleanup and '+' if it was successful in cleanup.
qmail-clean uses the enivronment CONFSPLIT as the run time directory split value. If not set it uses the value 151. A value larger than 151 for CONFSPLIT is silently ignored.
qmail-clean can process a queue created with todo and intd with subdirectory split by setting the BIGTODO environment variable.
qmail-clean cleans up files in intd and mess sub directory of the queue for qmail-send(8).
qmail-clean cleans up files in intd and todo directory for todo-proc(8).
qmail-clean cleans up files in intd, mess and todo directory for slowq-send(8).
qmail-clean cleans up files in pid directory accessed more than 36 hours ago. You can change the default 36 hours by setting OSSIFIED environment variable to a value in seconds. This should be greater than the value 86400 seconds which is the maximum time qmail-queue will run if it doesn't complete. This can be changed by setting DEATH environment variable in seconds used by qmail-queue. Best is to not to set these variables unless you know what you are doing. See the man pages for qmail-queue(8) and indimail-mta-internals(7) for more details.
