Take a look at /etc/cron.daily/suse.de-clean-tmp and at /etc/sysconfig/cron
That is deprecated and does not work. It doesn't, because those files are owned by root. And it doesn't because if systemd is running the cron job does not work. See release notes:
My Bad. Thank you for the correction. I looked on my 12.2 system rather than 12.3. I see that /etc/cron.daily/suse.de-clean-tmp isn't there on my 12.3 system. Sadly /etc/sysconfig/cron is. Hmm, that was a clean install on the 12.3 machine I'm looking at so I can't blame it on being a residue of an update. That still doesn't answer why they got created and left behind in the first place. You point out that programs _should_ clean up after themselves, but I've never relied on that. "Evidence". Systemd is "ongoing" and there still a lot to learn. -- Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd. -- Voltaire -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
