I clear the files in /tmp every night.
There are several applications that leave debug data in there.
I have an RPG program that reads the contents of a directory and deletes the files based on date created. I use this to clean up log files in other directories.
I was using a QSH command to do so, but it would fail if the directory contained a lot of files.
I think this was recently discussed.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Who clears /tmp regularly
I was trying to provide some files to IBM on a machine we don't regularly look after.
The files were in /tmp
There were over 1 million files in /tmp and it seems you can only enter a filter after the list has been built.
Just curious if you regularly clear this directory or if you have tools to regularly clean up old files or some other approach ?
Cheers
Don
