I have noticed that tmpwatch isn't automatically installed with Centos 7, or at least it wasn't when I set up this computer.

I further noticed that the Centos 7 tmpwatch rpm no longer includes /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch

There's no need for the tmpwatch cron job because systemd-tmpfiles does its job. Read the 'tmpfiles.d' man page. Configuration for the temp directories is in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf, and you can add your own files in /etc/tmpfiles.d/*.conf.

Today I have learned something new; many thanks to you.
