Hi!
I configured cron to clean my /tmp directory, should I also add other locations to clean and especially /var/tmp.
Thanks.
/tmp tends to be overflowing after a few months of usage, while the files stored in there are only used for the current session, so it’s sane to remove them with each boot. On the other hand, according to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, a system relies on /var/tmp being unchanged after a reboot. This path does not get “filled up” during time, but rather will change its content during a session.
Thanks a lot

Are you using your own cron? Don’t, there is already a service that does it for you. Just configure
“/etc/sysconfig/cron”.
