Wow. I'd be leery of wiping out a file that was needed by some active job.

I've cleared /tmp/ daily since at least 2015.

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
