| tmpreaper is a program that can be used to clean out temporary-file |
| directories. It recursively searches the directory, refusing to chdir() |
| across symlinks, and removes files that haven't been accessed in a |
| user-specified amount of time. You can specify a set of files to protect |
| from deletion with a shell pattern. It will not remove files owned by the |
| process EUID that have the `w' bit clear, unless you ask it to, much like |
| `rm -f'. `tmpreaper' will not remove symlinks, sockets, fifos, or special |
| files unless given a command line option enabling it to. |
| |
| WARNING: Please do not run `tmpreaper' on `/'. There are no protections |
| against this written into the program, as that would prevent it from |
| functioning the way you'd expect it to in a `chroot(8)' environment. |
| |
| The daily tmpreaper run can be configured through /etc/tmpreaper.conf . |
