/tmp is basically a scratch pad for the system. There's not supposed to be anything of any permenance in there. What is it that you're looking to retain?

No, but...

the cleanup is done by tmpwatch.
man tmpwatch cat /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch

Thanks Mogen,
the tmpwatch in crontab is as follow , and I believe it should remove the files after 240 hours, but as far as I see , it removes them much more earlier.
more /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch
/usr/sbin/tmpwatch -x /tmp/.X11-unix -x /tmp/.XIM-unix -x /tmp/.font-unix -x /tmp/.ICE-unix -x /tmp/.Test-unix 240 /tmp

There's a subtle issue. It will remove them after their access time is older than 240 hours. The access time could be somehow set to older than that with a program like 'touch' -- and, I have no idea how it deals with filesystems mounted with noatime. (Is yours?)
