How to leave open files not to be deleted

[Senthivelrajan Lakshmanan]

Hi Team,

I am trying to configure this excellent tool, one of the question I have is in the delete rule I would like to add option not to touch the file if the file is open.
Would you please advise how to do that.

Is the argument handleopen will do?

 <rule
                n="1000"
                type="delete handleopen"
                match_pattern="/.../^core$"
                match_by="MTIME OLDER_THAN 4D AND SIZE > 100k"

Thanks
Senthi

Hi,

  Probably still classed as an experimental feature! Which OS is this for?

  Also unlikely a core file will be open for use once it has been created/written?

Regards,
Simon.

Hi Simon and Team,

The original skulker removes the file only if no process has it currently open.

This is for AIX OS.

I have placed core as an example which may not be valid, since I am trying to move from current skulker to skulker2, want to make sure we keep the same functionality.

Please advise.

Hi,

 Apologies for the delay in replying. Late evening here in the UK now, but tomorrow I will provide a small update that implements this requirement.

Regards,
Simon.
