Not sure if this got answered offlist... but no, I am pretty sure that
the waterfall is built from structures in memory, which are loaded
from the status pickle files in the master directory.

I think Matisse included that in the same script, but the other
logfile cleanup command (just prior to the one you cited) just removes
stdio logs that are older than what the waterfall is probably
displaying:

  cd "$master_dir" && \
         find . -mindepth 2 -type f \
                ! -path "*CVS/*" \
                -mtime +${DAYS_BACK} \
                -exec rm {} \;
