Use AShare Helper to Automatically Empty the Network Trash Folder

AShare Helper is an application that was designed to help AppleShare IP Server Administrators with the upkeep of their Servers by doing a number of minor tasks, then sending notification to remote locations.

Related to this issue, AShare Helper can automate emptying the "Network Trash Folder".

NOTE: Originally, when I tried AShare Helper a few versions back, it did not properly empty the "Network Trash Folder" on the servers sharepoints, even after the 24 hr time period. Due to issues with a open file called "Trash Usage Map. Also, the current version will only empty correctly if your share points are located at the root or inside first level of sub-folders on all local volumes. So, for more control over the process I wrote an AppleScript (see below).

Ashare Helper is working properly for other users (on the ASIP list) and gives you other ASIP tasks and upkeep. So you might give it a try and see if it meets your needs.
