FileStatsCheckTime
Syntax:
FileStatsCheckTime <minutes>
Description:
Use the FileStatsCheckTime directive to specify the interval for file stats
information (information about a file retrieved via a call to fstat) refreshing.
In other words, the cached file stats are used during the period specified by
FileStatsCheckTime. If a file update is performed during this interval, the
timestamp and file contents in the response may not be up to date. Therefore, please
use this directive with caution.
FileStatsCheckTime accepts a value from -1 to 600 minutes(10 hours). Specifying a
value of -1 disables checking. Specifying a value of 0 (zero) causes a check to be
performed every time the file is requested. With this setting, the timestamp and file
contents returned by the iTP Secure WebServer will always be current.
Note: If disk files are not frequently updated, it is recommended that you use the
value of -1, and use the vcache script after files are updated.
Default:
When no FileStatsCheckTime directive is present, the value of 60 (one hour) will be
used.
Example:
FileStatsCheckTime 120
