Deleting files

To delete a file from a host, use the function 

delete_file(int host_id, const char* file_name)

or the command line program (run from the project root dir) 

delete_file -host_id X -file_name Y

delete_file() creates a message for the specific host and adds it to the msg_to_host table. This message instructs the client to delete the file. The message is included in the next scheduler reply to the host. The message XML has the form 

<delete_file_info>file_name</delete_file_info>

For this to work, you need to include <msg_to_host/> in config.xml.
