eliott,<br><br>Thanks for the suggestion.<br><br>The solution you offer seems workable for a smaller number of files, but I'm not sure how such a cron job would scale with lots of files (potentially thousands) added and deleted on a regular basis. Cron jobs also require cpu time and harddisk access - even more so if I'd want a finer resolution than 5 minutes.<br><br>I'd rather rely entirely on the filesystem itself. Just create a file with the appropriate mtime (with a resolution of seconds rather than minutes) and then forget about it - as nginx could take care of the rest. Replicating / scaling would also be very straightforward.<br><br>Well, just an idea. Is probably not very useful for anyone else, so I don't expect much support for my feature request :) Will probably end up implementing it myself.<br><br>Hendrik<br><br> <br><br>> Date: Sun, 10 Feb 2008 13:13:51 -0800<br>> From: eliott@cactuswax.net<br>> To: nginx@sysoev.ru<br>> Subject: Re: Nginx feature request<br>> <br>> How about a cron job that runs every 5 minutes, and sets a file with a<br>> future mtime as non readable, and a past mtime as readable?<br>> <br><br /><hr />It's about getting married.
