The log files that Intralink creates in the startup folder, in our case c:/PRO, everytime you start Intralink & the amount of files can go as high as 999. At that point I discovered Intralink3.4 will not start! No error messages, nothing, just doesn't start.
It took a bit (most of the morning) to figure it out, but all I had to do was delete all the log files & all is well.I thought I would post this for an FYI (although everyone likely knows thisbut me). I told my IT department that opening Ilink 999 times entitles me to a new workstation.

we added the purge command at beginning of the intralink startup bat file which cleans up the working directory on launch
@echo off
call purge_dir.bat
cd trail
call purge_dir.bat
cd ..
Here is the purge_dir.bat file
@echo off
C:\Ptc\proeWildfire64bit\x86e_win64\obj\purge.exe
del *.inf.*
del *.ger.*
del *.crc
del *.log
del *.bom
del *.dat
del *.err
del *.1st
del *.m_p
del *.tst
del *.crc.*
del *.log.*
del *.bom.*
del *.dat.*
del *.err.*
del *.lst.*
del *.m_p.*
del *.tst.*
del *.plt
del *.out
del *.pts.*
As well we set up a scheduled task of running the ldbcompactprogram everymorning.
