Hi Erik,

No, the LDM scour script deletes files, not create them.

re:

The first line in the snippit above should result in the deletion of
.gz files from the /usr/local/ldm/var/data directory that are more than
one day old.  This assumes, of course, that there is an appropriate
cron entry that runs the LDM scour utility once per day, and 
/usr/local/ldm/var/data is writable by the user running your LDM
(maybe obvious, but...).

Cheers,

Tom
