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?? Happened to me one time when I was trying to backup the rc files in my home directory: I did a recursive copy of ~/.* rather than ~/.[a-bA-B]* and copied a whole disk. Henry Harpending
