Clearing Incomplete Uploads

I'm aware of the podcast command to clear completed uploads.

After running that (--clear completeduploads in case you were wondering), I run the command to list uploads (again --list_uploads if you're wondering). One would presume this would be an empty response.

Nay nay. On our server there is one, just one, upload listed as 'pending' with 0 percent done... it was started from my home machine February of 2008 o_0

Can anyone point me to where this information is stored, and how I may delete or clear it?

Thanks so much,

I think I've found the solution.

If you look in the /usr/bin/podcast script (a ruby script), and then within the Upload class, you'll see bot the "clear completeduploads" method, as well as a "clear erroreduploads" method.

The second exists, but was never documented by Apple.

Hope that helps someone.
