Does not matter
What is the difference between "/usr/bin/sh" and "/bin/sh"?
Those are links to "bash" and [egreshko@meimei ~]$ ls -i /usr/bin/bash /bin/bash 23070627 /bin/bash 23070627 /usr/bin/bash Shows they have the same inode. They are hard linked. They are physically the same.
What day of the week will this be run?
I don't know. But does it really matter? As I said, the number of files to be deleted will most likely be 2. I guess there is a small chance that it will be 4. FWIW, it seems on my systems they are normally run either on Sunday or Monday at around 3~4AM. But my systems are up 24/7. Again, it matters not when it runs. The load to delete 2 files will not be noticeable.
What is the significance of the "98-" at the beginning of the file name?
Jobs in /etc/cron.weekly are executed sequentially. This just says it will be done later than others. You may not have any other scripts in that directory. Depends on what you've installed.
/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.
Yes, but you deleted them. And, again, they are only generated when a kernel update happens. You update once a week. So, you'll get at most 1 new kernel which will create 2 files. They are 12.5MB, total. And they will be soon deleted. That is, within 7 days. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
