-----
Note that when specifying |--filename| or |--chanid| and |--starttime|,
deletion of old symlinks is suppressed. Therefore, anyone using this
script in a user job or with the event system should still run the
script occasionally without the |--filename| or |--chanid| and
|--starttime| arguments to allow removal of links that referred to
recordings since deleted. Alternatively, you may use a script triggered
on "Recording deleted" and "Recording expired" to remove the specific
link when its recording is removed.
-----
So, if you use the alternate option, you could have the link deleted
immediately upon recording deletion/expiration, so that there's never a
link to a non-existent recording.
