[Opaltoolkit-users] job data not being cleaned

[Malcolm T. <mt...@wu...>]

I've got a working implementation of Opal 2.0 that I'm using for running 
PDB2PQR and APBS jobs.  Everything is running fine, but the job data isn't 
being cleared from the working directory.

In my etc/opal.properties I have:

# use this key to display how long to save user data on server
opal.datalifetime=4 days

and I don't see anywhere in the application-specific configuration files where 
this value is being over-ridden.

I searched in the Tomcat directory and the only reference to this variable is 
also 4 days:

/export/home/opal/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.30/webapps/opal2/WEB-INF/classes/opal.properties
opal.datalifetime=4 days

Yet none of the working directories appear to be getting deleted:

[opal@sccne ROOT]$ 
ls -l /export/home/opal/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.30/webapps/ROOT | less
drwxrwxr-x  2 opal opal   4096 Aug 20 10:39 app1250782739797
drwxrwxr-x  2 opal opal   4096 Aug 20 10:40 app1250782810226
drwxrwxr-x  2 opal opal   4096 Aug 20 10:40 app1250782810359
drwxrwxr-x  2 opal opal   4096 Aug 20 10:41 app1250782862526
...

The catalina logs don't show any activity since the last time jobs have been 
run:

[opal@sccne logs]$ tail  catalina.out 
2009-08-24 12:37:34,074 INFO

How are the job directories deleted?  Is the Tomcat server supposed to check 
periodically whether it's time to delete the directories?  How can I debug 
what's going wrong?

Thanks,
Malcolm
