Re: Clear /tmp on IPL or periodically?

'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.

On the V5R4 machine I have access to, the contents of /tmp as it came from IBM are a file called s.slapd and a directory called templates. When we clear /tmp we leave these two items in place.
