Do you guys clean regularly your /tmp ? There's a nice script in /etc/init.d/bootclean.sh that does the job. It is called from mountall.sh at boot time. And it is so nice that is reads the configuration in /etc/default/rcS where you can set TMPTIME to the number of days you want hold old files in /tmp.
But it only runs at boot time. I was thiking I'll make my own clean-up script that will be launched by crond. But why remake the wheel? Can I simply symlink /etc/init.d/bootclean.sh in /etc/cron.daily ? If this strategy is good, can we suggest that debian implements so by default? Eventually a new variable somewhere in /etc/default would enable/disable the execution of bootclean.sh by crond. BTW: Why bootclean.sh is the only script in /etc/init.d which is not flagged as executable?
