Have you used it? How does it perform if there are lots of modifications going on? Does it have a throttle against fork bombing? must-read-myself-a-little..... A incron line # sqlite3 /file.sql 'INSERT filename, date INTO table' would be inefficient, because it spawn lots of processes, but it would be very nice to simply test out the idea. Then a # sqlite3 /file.sql 'SELECT filename FROM table SORTBY date < date-30days' or something to get the files older than 30 days, and voilá :)
