Some of these on my Fedora-15 system date back to May, eg akonadi-tim* . I thought /tmp got emptied at regular intervals? Or does one have to specify this somewhere?On a weekly basis I run tmpwatch --mtime --verbose --verbose 168 /tmp It's amazing how much cruft it takes out weekly (it's intelligent enough to have an age limit on the files it removes). You can equally run a cron job to clean a user ~/tmp if you have one. Yes, it seems I'll have to resort to that as well... I recall that Solaris used to have a setting that would clear /tmp at boot. But, this option doesn't exist in Linux. The only other alternative would be to turn /tmp into a tmpfs file system. I suppose this is one way to deal with lazy programmers. :-) :-) |
