What is the "right" way to clean up /tmp?
I know about the setting in /etc/sysconfig eg, what is documented here:
http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/07/19/howto-regular-cleanup-the-tempfolders...
But... that isn't really working, and I rarely reboot - maybe once per month at most.
Ditto.
Is there a better way to keep this under control? Should I even be bothered with it?
Yes and maybe.
Why be concerned about what's in /tmp? Well, lately my computer is chewing through the 20GB / partition at a rather fast rate. I started looking around and discovered that /tmp is over 3.5GB and growing.
How about a daily cron job find /tmp -type f -ctime -30 -print0 | xargs -r -0 rm
Basically, I'm running out of room on my 20GB / partition... something that has never happened before. Finding the culprit is proving to be... a challenge.
3.5Gb in /tmp sounds like a culprit. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.3°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
