Yes, the line at the top is merely to make sure that it uses /bin/sh as the interpreter.
The cron entry for cron.daily would have /bin/sh as the command to execute, and having /etc/cron.daily/* as an argument, so that everything gets executed by /bin/sh
Oh, OK, I see how it works. So scripts in /etc/cron.daily can either have the shabang iine or not, and they will all be executed when /etc/crontab runs the runparts line for that directory?

You could create a init script in rc6.d and rc0.d which does an

I don't think it has one built in though

Hello, Is it possible to empty the /tmp directory when I shutdown my laptop? If I remember well, I was doing that under MDK but I cannot remember how

Thxs in advance Ludo
Better yet - check out tmpwatch. And there is a daily cron job which cleans out temporary files more than a certain number of hours old. See /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch and edit the times there if you want to delete them sooner. In any case there is a mechanism to delete old temp files and that is where it is controlled. So you could do nothing and know that the /tmp files will be deleted in 10 days.
Interesting thread...I just looked in /etc/cron.daily, and my default tmpwatch file is executable, but doesn't have the shabang line at the top, so it is listed as a plain text file. Is that normal?
