[Spacewalk-list] Is there a native function in spacewalk for archiving and then deleting old "actions"

Thanks for the reply and for giving me a head-start on "rolling my own"

Best wishes,

In Satellite, I've written a script to do that for all the "Show
differences ..." actions.  It takes completed and failed actions, moves
them to archived actions, then deletes them from archived actions.

It can easily be adjusted to purge a wider range of actions, and probably
to accommodate the age of the items.

It archives/purges 500 items at a time until they are all done.

Including it as a .txt, but it's written in Python.
