Quoting Jaco Carlson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Can you safely delete all files in /tmp?
Many will be in use. It is not a good idea to delete them. It is safe to
delete those from before the last reboot. Reboot, not resume from
suspend/hibernate.
A files which is in use will not be re-allocated until after
the process which is using it does a close() on the file handle.
Unless a program is written very stupidly (close a tmp file,
and then attempts to re-open it), removing files in /tmp
should be entirely safe.
