hi list,
does /tmp contain temporary files ? If it does, how to
empty it because mine is 1.2 GB large ! That's make my
space left 1% of 5GB !
Here is what I do, I put the following scripts in halt.local.
The second script is for cleaning up my history files.

#!/bin/sh

# a perl idea for your amusement
#I already had something similar. It actually deletes files older than 45
#minutes. Just change .03124 to a "3" for 3 days. 
#perl
# For each file in the folder..
#while() {
#    # If the file is not a directory, and is older than 45 minutes,	delete it
#        if ((!-d $_) && (-M $_ > .03124)) {
#                unlink $_;
#		        }
#			}

rm -r /tmp/.*
rm -r /tmp/*
rm -r /var/tmp/.*
rm -r /var/tmp/*
