This may be what you're looking for... FYI, I haven't used these in a
long time and they may need updating to work with the current Myth. May
delete all your files otherwise. ;)

The first is was posted to this list back in Jan. by someone else. Do a
search on "Langley" for more info. The second script I set to delete any
DB entries for which there is no corresponding file.


Enjoy.
