[ILUG] /tmp not cleared on reboot

[paul at clubi.ie]

Hi Walter,

Have a look at /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch and 'man tmpwatch'.

The default seems to be 240 hours, change to whatever suits. If you 
want to have it guaranteed that /tmp is cleared on reboot, mount 
/tmp/ as a tmpfs volume. Put something like:

tmpfs	/tmp	tmpfs	defaults,size=xM	0 0

in /etc/fstab, changing the x in size=xM to be the size in MiB you 
want it to be. Make sure you have at least that much swap available.

regards,
