Could you expand on that tmpwatch
see man 8 tmpwatch :)
I don't have it installed, I can't look the manual. And the manual probably will not explain whether or why it is better than the traditional suse cron job :-)
instead of using the traditional suse
cron job that deletes old tmp files? This is new to me.
tmpwatch also installs a daily cronjob that takes care of the task, it is new to you because tmpwatch reappeared in the distribution only in 11.1.
Ah, then it is not in use in 11.0. And my test partition of 11.1 doesn't have it, either, so it is not installed by default.
ps: note that there are several utilities with that name, we use the one maintained by redhat https://fedorahosted.org/tmpwatch/
There is one for 11.0, but I don't know if it is that one: cer@nimrodel:~> webpin tmpwatch 5 results (3 packages) found for "tmpwatch" in openSUSE_110 * tmpwatch: Watches file system activity, such as /tmp files - 2.9.13 [suse-oss | BS::home:/elvigia] - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
