Rationale: we sometimes have to do certain maintenance tasks. I wanted to implement something that cleans up stale files in /local/work. Instead of writing a bash or python script, I decided to now implement a CLI tool in rust with one subcommand for every such task. Via Rust's security guarantees and comprehensive testing, we should have a better maintainability than with lots of loose scripts.
The implementation is here, already published as a Rust crate:
https://github.com/IKIM-Essen/emcp-tools
Once this has been tested on the cluster, add a cron job (see todo in the role).
