Re: /tmp Cleanup

I do know some vendors use /tmp to store some things. I do, but mainly
temporary/debug files. But as a vendor, I wouldn't keep anything there
that was super important.

Not sure where all the stuff from IBM comes from in there either.

Subject: /tmp Cleanup

I'm looking at implementing a regularly scheduled cleanup of /tmp.

Are there any system type objects or subdirectories in /tmp which should
NOT be deleted? Things like /.X11-unix or /.com_ibm_tools_attach.

Thanks,


Gord
