It won't interfere with running ebuilds, because pgrep emerge will cause it to exit if emerge is running. Deleting anything over a day old is dangerous, think openoffice on a slow/loaded machine. ebuilds should clean up after themselves, so you only get cruft in $PORTAGE_TMPDIR when an ebuild fails. No, it doesn't clean distfiles, but you didn't ask about them, use eclean for that. -- Neil Bothwick As long as you do not move you can still choose any direction.
