[cobalt-users] RAQ550 - /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch

["Bill Gibbs" <bgibbs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just thought I'd send this minor fix to the list.  I noticed my /tmp dir was
not being cleaned up.  I took a look at /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch, line #1:

/usr/sbin/tmpwatch 240 /tmp

If you run that line with -v -v switches for verbose, you will see the
following output:

grace period is 864000
initial directory /tmp is a symlink -- skipping

Well no wonder nothing was being cleaned - it was skipping /tmp, it appears
that /tmp is linked to /home/tmp so I modified the line to read /home/tmp
instead of /tmp and things are being cleaned up now.

Hope this helps someone else,
Bill
