Do a grep on "/etc/sysconfig" when you don't remember things like that and
you will find them. The trick is trying to remember which string to search
for. Let's see:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> grep -i delete /etc/sysconfig/*
/etc/sysconfig/auditd:# This option is used to determine if rules & watches
should be deleted on
/etc/sysconfig/cron:# Should old preformatted man pages (in /var/catman) be
deleted? (yes/no)
/etc/sysconfig/cron:DELETE_OLD_CATMAN=yes
/etc/sysconfig/cron:# cron.daily can check for old files in tmp-dirs. It will
delete all files
/etc/sysconfig/cron:# be searched and deleted.
/etc/sysconfig/cron:# In OWNER_TO_KEEP_IN_TMP, you can specify, whose files
shall not be deleted.
/etc/sysconfig/cron:# Should old corefiles they be deleted? ("yes" or "no")
/etc/sysconfig/cron:DELETE_OLD_CORE=no
/etc/sysconfig/cron:# be searched and deleted. The frequency is determined by
MAX_DAYS_IN_LONG_TMP
grep: /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd: Permission denied
/etc/sysconfig/onlineupdate:# If set to "yes" YOU will delete the downloaded
RPM archives after installing
So, "cron" has some entries that might be what you are looking for. So,
let's have a look at "/etc/sysconfig/cron"; for instance:
MAX_DAYS_IN_TMP=30
TMP_DIRS_TO_CLEAR="/tmp /var/tmp"
etc, etc. There you have the variables Patrick mentioned. :-)
