Skulker v1.0.2 New Features

Over the weekend version 1.0.2 of Skulker will appear. This has a couple of interesting features:


  • time_limit facility - it is possible to indicate the maximum amount of time a rule should run for before continuing with the next one. This is an additional "filter" over existing ones so you can indicate that, for example, up to 5000 files should be compressed, oldest version but only taking a maximum elapsed time of two hours.
  • Random data scrubbing. The delete "file scrubbing" functionality has been extended to include a "random data" overwrite option (including multiple passes) if you might think it may be of use. A lot will depend on the OS and file system as to whether this does anything useful - absolutely not for copy-on-write file systems of course.
