Hi everyone
Can I delete the contents of /tmp from time to time without upsetting the system?
From /etc/rc.config set them cron will take care of it
# # 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=2 # # You can specify in TMP_DIRS_TO_CLEAR, which directories have to be # searched for old files, to be deleted. # TMP_DIRS_TO_CLEAR="/tmp /var/tmp" # # In OWNER_TO_KEEP_IN_TMP, you can specify, whoms file shall not be # deleted. # OWNER_TO_KEEP_IN_TMP="" -- Togan Muftuoglu
