[Cdash] Remove builds problem

[Martin Apel]

Hi all,

I also had problems with the automatic removal of builds. I have set up
CDash to remove old builds after 90 days,
but there are still builds back from July of this year. I tried out your
recommendation with the explicit calling of the
autoRemoveBuilds script and it didn't work at first try, because I used
the project name instead of 'all'. Using 'all' instead
led to success. The cause seems to be, that our project name contains a
blank.
I have set up a cronjob invoking the command line below with "all", but
maybe others run into the same problem as well.

Regards,

Martin
