The Robot folks have an "Age Output Queue" command. When run against
an output queue it adds a +01 to the end of the user description
field for everything in the queue. You also set a maximum number for
the queue. Every time the program runs the number is incremented.
When the document reaches the number you've set, it's deleted.
It's a relatively simple process; you can probably write a program to
do the same thing fairly easily; there's an API to retrieve the
contents of the queue.
The way we have the command set to run all queues are 'aged' weekly
and files disappear after 2 weeks; other queues are aged on a more
frequent basis. Some we have added to a "Never Age" list so the
contents never disappear.
