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.

Ah, I missed that point ;-o Deleting anything over a day old is dangerous, think openoffice on a slow/loaded machine. Therefore I'm using more than one day. Actually, I don't use overbloated stuff like OO ;-P ebuilds should clean up after themselves, so you only get cruft in $PORTAGE_TMPDIR when an ebuild fails. Right, but this tends to be quite often in the last time :( No, it doesn't clean distfiles, but you didn't ask about them, use eclean for that. hmm, won't help me very much, since I don't want to keep distfiles for already installed packages, but those which are scheduled for update (running nightly emerge -uDF world). cu -- - Enrico Weigelt== metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ - Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ - -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
