>DESCRIPTION</H2
><P
>The <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>flow-expire</B
> utility will remove the oldest flow files
in a directory based on either a count of files or space utilization.  The
directory is recursively searched for flow files.  Files that do not have a
flow-tools signature will be ignored.  The internal timestamp is used so
backups or copies of the flow files that do not retain the original
timestamp will not impact the operation of <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>flow-expire</B
>. 
<B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>flow-expire</B
> is typically used to manage storage in
a distributed environment where flows are collected on a different
server than they are archived.</P
