db_cleanup2

Group: EWDB_APPLICATIONS
Description: db_cleanup2 is a catch-all, time based archiver. Based on rules set in the config file, it saves/deletes Events and unassociated data based on time limits. Rules schedule the archiving/deletion of data based on time, magnitude, and location of Events.

This program is meant to be run out of cron(or some other periodic invocation method). Its function is to keep the number of events in the database manageable, by deleting the oldest events.
