man tmpreaper.conf (Formats) - defines parameters for daily run of tmpreaper

NAME

tmpreaper.conf - defines parameters for daily run of tmpreaper

DESCRIPTION

tmpreaper is run daily via the /etc/cron.daily/tmpreaper script. Its behaviour can be tuned via the /etc/tmpreaper.conf file. This file can contain settings entries to override the defaults in the cron.daily script itself. These settings are:

TMPREAPER_TIME
the max. age of files before they're removed. Default:

TMPREAPER_TIME=7d
TMPREAPER_PROTECT_EXTRA
extra patterns that you may want to protect. Example:

TMPREAPER_PROTECT_EXTRA='/tmp/isdnctrl* /tmp/important*'

Don't forget to enclose the patterns in quotes, like above.
TMPREAPER_DIRS
the directories to clean up.

NEVER supply / here! That will wipe most of your system!

Example:

TMPREAPER_DIRS='/tmp/. /var/tmp/.'

Again, don't forget to enclose the patterns in quotes, like above.
