10 It won't interfere with running ebuilds, because pgrep emerge will cause
11 it to exit if emerge is running. Deleting anything over a day old is
12 dangerous, think openoffice on a slow/loaded machine. ebuilds should
13 clean up after themselves, so you only get cruft in $PORTAGE_TMPDIR when
14 an ebuild fails.

16 No, it doesn't clean distfiles, but you didn't ask about them, use eclean
17 for that.
