Re: Clear /tmp on IPL or periodically?

Try 4=Remove. If that fails on directories because they have data in them then
2=Edit
9=Recursive Delete
Leave /tmp there. Just delete the stuff in it.

'course QSH CMD('rm -rf /tmp/*') should work just as well.

The reason I'm asking is that there appear to be files in that directory that could be special ... s.slapd, a bunch of Q* files, etc. I'm leary of removing them without being sure.

'course if /tmp is used the way it's intended on i5/os, then clearing it on a re-ipl should *not* be a problem. I'm just trying to make sure.
