That works, but I'd like something I can run periodically, and I don't want to remove a work directory in the middle of a build. My /etc/periodic.conf is this: # 110.clean-tmps daily_clean_tmps_enable="YES" # Delete stuff daily daily_clean_tmps_dirs="/tmp /var/db/pkgin/cache /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles" # Delete under here daily_clean_tmps_dirs="$daily_clean_tmps_dirs /usr/obj" daily_clean_tmps_days="30" # If not accessed for daily_clean_tmps_ignore=".X*-lock .X11-unix .ICE-unix .font-unix .XIM-unix" daily_clean_tmps_ignore="$daily_clean_tmps_ignore quota.user quota.group .cvsignore" # Don't delete these daily_clean_tmps_verbose="YES" # Mention files deleted If I added "/usr/pkgsrc/*/*/work" to daily_clean_tmps_dirs, would that work?
