Dunno whether it's available in F15. And it defaults to 10 days > not 14, I think: "man tmpfiles.d" Yes, F15 has this too. As that man page indicates, you can exclude directories or files from being cleaned with the 'x' type. So, create a file /etc/tmpfiles.d/dont-clean-tmp-damnit.conf or such and put 'x /tmp' in it and systemd will stop cleaning your /tmp. -T.C. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
