Files in /tmp directory - Is there any timelimit ?

2013-09-25 Thread Sreeram BS
Hi, I am using FreeBSD 9. I would like to know as to what is the lifetime of the files in /tmp directory. The general description says that these files *may* not be preserved across a reboot. By this I interpret that if the system is not rebooted, then these files will be there forever. But, jus

Does this auto-cleanup apply to files in /var/tmp directory also. The generic description says that the files in this directory can stay across reboots. So, does this survive auto-cleanup too? regards, Sreeram On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 2:29 PM, Volodymyr Kostyrko wrote: > 25.09.2013 11:34, Sreera
