Yes, tmpreaper does the job. But here I was preteding to simply reuse the

Maybe I am wrong and it is a bad idea using bootclean.sh in crond ?
bootclean.sh is not secure for use on multiuser systems. It is very easy
to trick it into deleting files that are not in /tmp.
Note that tmpreaper is also insecure for use on multiuser systems,
despite the protestations of its maintainer to the contrary.
Howso?
