It recursively searches the directory, refusing to chdir() + across symlinks, and removes files that haven't been accessed in a + user-specified amount of time. You can specify a set of files to protect + from deletion with a shell pattern. It will not remove files owned by the + process EUID that have the `w' bit clear, unless you ask it to, much like + `rm -f'. `tmpreaper' will not remove symlinks, sockets, fifos, or special + files unless given a command line option enabling it to. + + WARNING: Please do not run `tmpreaper' on `/'. There are no protections + against this written into the program, as that would prevent it from + functioning the way you'd expect it to in a `chroot(8)' environment. + + The daily tmpreaper run can be configured through /etc/tmpreaper.conf . + </longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
