[Spacewalk-list] Way to remove stale system entries?

[David Glaser]

I've attached the script that one of our temps wrote to remove systems 
that have not checked in over a year (but it is configurable) and warn 
if systems have been offline for over a given period of time. Maybe it 
is what you are looking for.

We just run it out of cron with a number of command line switches.
