I read about tmpreaper in connection with a gentoo system and found its source here: http://packages.debian.org/stable/admin/tmpreaper To add some examples, I have one system back from SuSE 9.0, upgraded to 9.3, then 10.0. Looking in /tmp sudo du -sc /tmp 1856714 /tmp 1856714 total There are some PDF files, probably from Firefox downloads. Then there are a bunch of empty directories of type YaST2-08080-VKWUde. Most of them are from 2004 and 2005. Then there are a bunch of empty directories of type sax2-7500. All of them from 2005. By far the most single source entries (~100) seem to come from Adobe Acrobat. Some of them also have the biggest size, with as big as: -rw------- 1 user1 users 2048000 2005-09-09 22:06 Acro000BgLvGO Alltogether there are 565 folder/files in the /tmp folder of that system. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
