cleanup temp folders

[westram]

• cleanup ~/.arb_tmp/
  • delete subdirs older than XXX days
• cleanup ~/.arb_tmp/tmp
  • delete files older than XXX days
• cleanup ~/.arb_prop/logs/<timestamped-subdirs>
  • see ​why they cannot always be cleaned up
  • delete subdirs older than XXX days

Normally nothing should be left in these folders (e.g. by calling external tools), but in practice things crash and leftover remain.

Consider #595

My ~/.arb_tmp/tmp e.g. currently contains more than 4000 files

Just a thought…

The most "powerful" fix would include "background" execution of GDE processes.

• Allow adding "run in background" option to GDE GUI header
• If set, disconnect subprocess from arb_launcher and put filename of into tempdir
• On launch, have GDE check it's temp for directories with matching filename
• Run (new) import part of GDE script

There are a few more things that could/should be fixed with GDE, though.

Replying to epruesse:

The most "powerful" fix would include "background" execution of GDE processes.

Created #595 to cover that. Thought we already had such a ticket, but couldn't find any.
