Do you guys clean regularly your /tmp ?
Yup. The tmpreaper package is great for that.
Yes, tmpreaper does the job. But here I was preteding to simply reuse the
bootclean.sh by simply making a symlink. Why installing an addittional package
if
you already have the stuff to the the job?
Maybe I am wrong and it is a bad idea using bootclean.sh in crond ?
My understanding (I am not a Linux guru) is that it is risky
to remove things from /tmp while the system is "up", as
some apps, for example X Window system, store stuff in there
which they don't need to survive a boot, but do need to keep
clickin'
So using a script may not be a Good Thing. I regularly remove
stuff by hand, when I can recognize what they are and am
sure that I no longer need them.
# du -s /tmp

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
