Tmpwatch not working (as I expected)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a bunch of files and directories in /tmp that are really old.  I
check /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch and see the command "/usr/sbin/tmpwatch
240 /tmp" as the first line.

I ran it from the shell (as root) using "/usr/sbin/tmpwatch -v 240 /tmp"
and it keeps listing the same directories but doesn't delete them.  I
then added -f to force their removal, but that still isn't working.
What am I missing?
