(I think part of the backlog is due to the switch > from Gnome to KDE) I clean my /tmp on each orderly shutdown. That way if the system crashes, my /tmp is preserved but when I do a reboot, it gets cleaned. Put this in /sbin/halt.local. /sbin/halt.local: #!/bin/sh # wsrcc halt script echo "WSRCC: Clearing /tmp" cd / /bin/rm -rf /tmp/* /tmp/.??* sync; sync; sync; # # end # I used to use an age based clearing method, but that tended to remove things I was still using if the system stayed up too long and it didn't clear things quickly enough such as cases where something significant changed and caused a name clash in /tmp. (Try changing UID's around sometime and forget about the files in /tmp. Things won't be sane until all those files get nuked.) -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
