Whats a good strategy for clearing /tmp and /usr/tmp?
Two suggestions (to be run from cron) are below. The first being the optimal solution: #!/bin/sh DAYS=7 find /tmp /usr/tmp -depth -hidden -fsonly hfs -atime +$DAYS -exec rm -rf {} \; The -depth option ensures no directory is removed before its contents, -fsonly hfs is because occasionally I’ve NFS-mounted stuff there and it’s better to do the clearing in the machine where it’s local, and -hidden is in case CDF’s appear there for some reason.
