You can put this in halt.local ############################ #!/bin/sh rm -r /tmp/.* rm -r /tmp/* rm -r /var/tmp/.* rm -r /var/tmp/* ############################
But won't the line
rm -r /tmp/.*
also recursively move to .. and then start deleting files from root level??
It dosn't for me, but I can see why you ask. I don't think * matches . or .., otherwise you would always get infinite looping on . -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
