NAME

bin/exterminate.pl - remove templates with persistently unreachable URLs

SYNOPSIS

  bin/exterminate.pl
 

DESCRIPTION

This Perl program runs another tool in order to discover which templates have been persistently unreachable. Each of the resulting templates is modified so that any existing Status attribute is stripped out, and a new one introduced:

  Status: stale

Finally, the ROADS server resource description database is reindexed.

The program is intended for invocation from a World-Wide Web CGI program, a cron job, or an at job.

OPTIONS

None.

BUGS

It is assumed that there is only one template per file.
