Story behind the daemon: a few weeks ago I noticed that I don’t have space in my /home. Investigation led to deleting ~20GiB of ancient garbage from the dot-dirs there. In too many cases I wasn’t been able to detect who created those files and if I need them. I didn’t like this situation, so I present you with a solution.
Be careful, though: the code isn’t tested. It is more like working “proof-of-concept” than a real release. Code is ugly as hell too. Pre-release beta of the alpha version.
But it works on my machine and can be initialized through the CLI, without recompiling or manual DB-editing. So it is usable. So use it.
I do analyze creation time to differentiate creating from just accessing the old file. Yes, tampering with time will mess a little but it won’t be critical for the daemon functionality.
