assuming everything else is setup correctly, SuSE's tmp cleanup scripts ignore files owned by root, by default. ui believe there is a settinf in rc.config that asks if you want to ignore them, or change the user thats ignored. there may even be different TTL's on different types of files, cant remember at the moment. -- ======================================================================== Rocky McGaugh Atipa Linux Solutions Linux Systems Engineer www.atipa.com rocky@smluc.org rmcgaugh@atipa.com ======================================================================== On Mon, 21 Feb 2000, Terry Eck wrote:
As a side question to Steve's, I've symlinked /tmp to /var/tmp/tmp. I set /var/tmp/tmp to have old files (over 5 days) deleted. I think this was done in rc.config (not under linux now). There are files well over 5 days old in that directory. How does one correctly set up the SuSE system to delete old files in /var/tmp and /var/tmp/tmp (this being symlinked to /tmp)? Thanks Terry Eck
