done.
The script looks like this:
-----
#!/usr/bin/sh
# clean out files left behind by the compiling that follows patching or
# updating the kernel and/or the driver for the nvidia graphics card.
rm -rf /var/cache/akmods/nvidia/*
exit $?
# done!
-----
That I may better understand...
Am I correct in assuming which shell I use does not matter in this case?
What is the difference between "/usr/bin/sh" and "/bin/sh"?
What day of the week will this be run?
What is the significance of the "98-" at the beginning of the file name?
/var/cache/akmods/nvidia/ was one of the things I cleaned out earlier in
this thread (or this thread's parent), but I can't find how much space
that freed. But I vaguely recall it being a lot.

1GB divided by 12.5MB = 80 new kernels.
Once the script above has run, I will check on /var space again and post
results. I think the major things have been cleaned out, and whatever
junk is left is, as a few list members have said, not worth the trouble.
thanks,
Bill.
