RE: Deleting spool files by date

["Allen, Stuart" <sallen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We use a package from OS Solutions called OSD to do our cleanup jobs on a
sunday (plus loads more!).
It lets you specify how often to keep normal spools, held spools, and saved
ones.  It also lets you select which q's to action.
Worth a look.
