There is also a program called tmpwatch which runs by default in
a daily cron job. This process cleans out older files in /var/tmp and
/tmp in an effort to help administrators. Longterm things should not
be stored in /tmp or /var/tmp as they are temporary directories, and
can be subject to cleanings such as this. For more information about
the process, man tmpwatch or take a look at the cron job in
/etc/cron.daily/
