You also have '/var/tmp' that is expected to survive reboots and should be less often (never?) cleared.
cat /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch flags=-umc /usr/sbin/tmpwatch "$flags" -x /tmp/.X11-unix -x /tmp/.XIM-unix \ -x /tmp/.font-unix -x /tmp/.ICE-unix -x /tmp/.Test-unix \ -X '/tmp/hsperfdata_*' 240 /tmp /usr/sbin/tmpwatch "$flags" 720 /var/tmp for d in /var/{cache/man,catman}/{cat?,X11R6/cat?,local/cat?}; do if [ -d "$d" ]; then /usr/sbin/tmpwatch "$flags" -f 720 "$d" fi done
720 = 30 days
what? you mean this dir called /var/tmp is actually for temporary stuff?? man, this system is seriously screwed up...
What else do you use it for?
oh my, I didn't think it would be necessary but I really should have put a smiley there... the limits of email I guess. as Mark rightly surmised, yes it was an attempt at humor.
