If they are, remove them.

Then, find these lines:

 #                                      {
 #                                      -Title      => 'Screen Cache',
 #                                      -Title_URL  => $PLUGIN_URL."/screen_cache.cgi",
 #                                      -Function   => 'screen_cache',
 #                                      -Activated  => 0,
 #                                      },

Uncomment the lines, by taking off the, "#"'s:

                                        {
                                        -Title      => 'Screen Cache',
                                        -Title_URL  => $PLUGIN_URL."/screen_cache.cgi",
                                        -Function   => 'screen_cache',
                                        -Activated  => 0,
                                        },

Save your .dada_config file.

Using screen_cache.cgi as a cronjob

This plugin can also be used as a simple cronjob, to periodically flush all the cached screens.

All that needs to be done is to visit the screen periodically using the URL labeled, Manual Run URL: in the list control panel of this plugin.

A sample curl command, useful for a cronjob is listed in the textbox labeled, curl command example (for a cronjob):

Running this cronjob every hour, or day, or week, should be plenty.

You may also just use the, rm command directly, but this has the possibility of removing the wrong directory!
