Marble is a simple program which deletes old files under a list of given directories if the total size of that directory exceeds a given one. It is designed to be run as a periodic cronjob in a non-interactive fashion.

Usage:

./marble [flags] <root directories>

Flags are:

-minquota=512 (Min disk quota in MB)
-maxquota=1024 (Max disk quota in MB)
-logfname="/var/log/marble.log" (Location of log file)

When launched like ./marble /foo, marble will scan the directory /foo and:

• if the total size of the files under /foo exceeds maxquota, it'll remove files until the total size is under minquota;
• else, return without doing anything.

The files will be deleted starting from the ones with the oldest access time.

Marble currently compiles and works under Linux and BSD.
