i need a cron script that cleans every day crap into /tmp
I have there a lot of temp files but i dunno which ones can be safely wiped,
and it is very time comsuming job, too.
There already is a cron that will delete file out of /tmp that are 10 days old.
In addition, at shutdown time everything in /tmp is fair game for
deletion. As one of the last things done on all my machines I clean out
/tmp. In my case the reason isn't space, but clutter. With the default
/tmp cleaning, things build up to such a level that downloaded files
that I only want to look at once are hard to find (such as pdf files
etc).
Put this in /sbin/halt.local mode 755.
#!/bin/sh

Or turn /tmp into a tmpfs mount.
