Great question. I thought the cron job(s) (setup by SuSE) was suppose to be deleting everything in the /tmp directory. I have the similar files, guess I should go look at that cron job :-)
/etc/sysconfig/cron: # cron.daily can check for old files in tmp-dirs. It will delete all files # not accessed for more than MAX_DAYS_IN_TMP. If MAX_DAYS_IN_TMP is not set # or set to 0, this feature will be disabled. # MAX_DAYS_IN_TMP=0 It is 0 by default; I'm changing it to 30 right away. Even so, files owned by root are not deleted, unless you say so :-) If you preffer to delete them at boot up, then change this: # "Set this to "yes" to entirely remove (rm -rf) all files and subdirectories # from the temporary directories defined in TMP_DIRS_TO_CLEAR on bootup. # Please note, that this feature ignores OWNER_TO_KEEP_IN_TMP - all files will # be removed without exception." CLEAR_TMP_DIRS_AT_BOOTUP="no" -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
