spacemand
The space manager (spacemand) is a persistent process that on startup, reads the space
management configuration file and builds a table of archived database areas to manage.
Periodically it scans the databases looking to see if any archived files need to be
removed. Additionally, when a new file is created and closed by a recorder, the
archive_close() routine sends a message to spacemand. Spacemand then checks to see if the
new file pushed the archive area over its configured limits.
Syntax
spacemand [-cdv] [-f configfile] [-t seconds] [-r]
