When I delete a job in the monitor the auxiliary file(s) are not deleted in the repository. Is this a kind of safety thing or a bug? At least there should be a way to clean up the job repository, but I couldn’t find one.
Cheers,
Chris
Hey Chris,
Deadline has a house cleaning operation that is supposed to clean these up at random intervals. I just tested the code here, and discovered a bug that prevented the auxiliary files from being deleted properly. This has been fixed internally and will be included in beta 13.
We’ll also be adding a Perform House Cleaning option to the Tools menu in the Monitor so the cleanup process can be done manually if desired. We’ll be removing the existing options to Clean Up Completed Jobs, Check for Orphaned Limit Stubs, and Check for Stalled Slaves, since those are all part of the house cleaning process. All house cleaning info will be written to the Monitor’s log.
Cheers,

Sounds great! Thank you, Ryan!
Cheers,
Chris
