Hello Rj!

The var/ticqueue directory holds .tic files until they are sent to the 
receiving system.  They should be deleted automatically after they are sent. 
Checking mine, I have a few going back as far as March; I'll have to check on 
why they are still hanging out.

After a quick check, those were leftovers from a system that went down and 
never picked them up.

Any .tic files in there that are not for active downlinks can (and should be) 
deleted.

Andrew
