Subject:   files left in SAS_workaxxx,when to delete

I notice many of the sas users always left tons of huge files under the work area, say in subdirecttory SAS_worka0000FB5 even when their sas jobs has already finished. Wonder if there's a way to tell if the files in such directory are still in use (could it be the file sas.lck that tells this?) . If i could distinguish it, i could do a crontab to delete them periodically so as to free up disk space for other users -- __ / \_/ ) __ Pui Ming WONG (E-mail: pm@hkbu.edu.hk) / ( ------------- } System Support Programmer ( =l=ll===============__} Computing & Telecomm.
