[ZendTo] Derelict files in /var/zendto/incoming/

[Jules]

John,

You don't need to stop Apache at all. Don't delete anything that's 
clearly current and in-progress by mistake, but you can delete the others.

I should probably write a cron job to clean out files in incoming that 
are more than a couple of days old. It's a pretty straightforward find 
command to do it.

Cheers,
Jules.
