[Minor Feature/Enhancement] Sig and wormhole expire after time

[Ligraph]

So that wormhole connections would expire after the max lifetime (36h?). Wormhole sigs as well, and any others that spawn. Just something to make managing the map a little easier.

+1 for this, my corp is full of lazy people :(

[dnolen]

Absolute want to have. I hate running into connections that have 20+ day old sigs

+1 Exodus, we would benefit from this addition as well. Having WH sigs disappear after X amount of time and also DELETED from the map view would be great. I've logged into Pathfinder numerous times now and seen 3+ day old WHs still on the map. My corp is full of lazies.

+1 need this feature, wormhole expiration specially

[dnolen]

This is a feature that I loved in tripwire and it would be awesome to see it enabled in pathfinder.

Also side now. Can you change the EOL timer from a starting value of 00:00:00 to a count down from 4 hours? Just makes it more prevalent to the time remaining rather then the time the has been marked EOL. Just my opinion though.

This issue currently in development:

I implement this in two iterations over the next releases.

1. Iteration (Connections):

• Add new map settings option "Delete expired connections?" and make it configurable per map (default: enabled)
• Auto delete EOL (wh) connections where eolUpdated column older 4h 15min (cronjob)
• Auto delete (wh) connections where updated column older 36h (cronjob)

2. Iteration (Signatures):

• Auto delete signatures where updated column older 36h (cronjob)

Hint

• When connections get deleted automatically, there might be floating systems without connections.

New Improvement

There is now a new option (default: active) for auto-delete wormholes with a create timestamp older than 2days.

• The default of 2days can be adjusted in pathfinder.ini, key EXPIRE_CONNECTIONS_WH
• A new * cronjob* for cleanup runs hourly
• Connections with other scopes (stargate, jumpbridge) are not affected by this
