[Cdash] cdash backup directory not being cleaned up - Found word(s) remove list in the Text body

[Matějů Miroslav, Ing.]

Hi Clinton,

I had the same problem with the CDash 2.0.2. I discovered that cleaning of the backup folder was not included in the asynchronous call until it was fixed in the the commit 72518b1a830920845201c4ce17b571cf59e0a5e0. However, this commit is not included in any 2.x release yet. I am sending a patch I derived from the mentioned commit and applied to my 2.0.2 installation. It seems to get cleaned correctly since then.

Dave, Clinton,

I'm guessing the asynchronous call is not working properly.
Are you getting daily file changed at the top of the dashboard?

Can you try to call the dailyupdates directly from your browser? 
Something like:

   http://localhost/CDash/cdash/dailyupdatescurl.php?projectid=1

with the projectid being the id of your project.

Let me know if that works (or not),
Julien
