Nope. It used to be on by default (?) at one time (FC1? RHL9?), but either way, I don't want files deleted. I've had tmpwatch dump things I wanted to keep, and keep things that I thought should have been whacked a long time ago.tmpwatch (in Extras) might suit your needs. :) The script I currently use (attached) never deletes anything. It leaves that to the user/admin. All it does is clean up /tmp by moving things into a subdirectory of /tmp (i.e. "tmp-cleanup-2007-01-19@xxxxxxxx"). While the script I have doesn't delete anything, it does, however, move everything (except prior directories made by itself). -Ron |
