Just a remark. DO NOT DO THIS!

Other program may well have stuff in /tmp active by the time your script
runs. It MUST NOT blow things away in a careless and untargeted way like
this.

/tmp /cleaning stuff must happen as the very first thing in a system (if
it happens at all). NOT as part of some random start/stop script that
may run at any time (including long after the system starts, if you shut
the service down and start it up again, a not uncommon maintenance
process).

Cheers,
