A cron job is the simplest way. Have cron run the command... |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
find /tmp -mtime +9 -execdir rm -rf {} \; |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
...every day. "-mtime" (number of days ago the file was last modified) |
| 17 |
truncates fractions, so +9 (i.e. greater than 9 days) means *AT LEAST |
| 18 |
10 DAYS*. If you want to delete all old files by all users, including |
| 19 |
root, the command would have to be run as root. |
