<WRAP muchbigger>**prune.sh**</WRAP>
=====Objective=====
Perform maintenance on backups (remove excessively old copies to save disk space).


=====TODO=====

  * <del>look into being able to merge the nfs and sokraits/halfadder versions of the script</del> they look to be pretty much cut from the same cloth, verify this.
  * do some simple error checking (just in case)

=====Prerequisites=====
In order to use **prune.sh**, the following conditions need to be met:

  * run as root (or superuser privileges)
  * run on the primary fileserver, or either VM Server peer

=====Usage=====
To use **prune.sh**, run it with the appropriate data element as an argument to check:

<cli>
sokraits:~$ sudo /export/backup/prune.sh username
</cli>

Preferred deployment is through the script that creates the backup files (so it cleans up as it goes along).

=====Script=====
