tmpwatch − removes files which haven’t been accessed for a period of time
tmpwatch [-fav] [--verbose] [--force] [--all] [--test] <hours> <dirs>
tmpwatch recursively removes files which haven’t been accessed for a given number of hours. Normally, it’s used to clean up directories which are used for temporary holding space such as /tmp.
When changing
directories, tmpwatch is very sensitive to possible
race conditions and will exit with an error if one is
detected. It does not follow symbolic links in the
directories it’s cleaning (even if a symbolic link is
given as its argument), will not switch filesystems,
and only removes empty directories and regular files.
tmpwatch dates files by their atime, not their mtime. If files aren’t being removed when ls -l implies they should be, use stat(1) to examine the files atime to see if that explains the problem.
The hours parameter defines the threshold for removing files. If the file has not been accessed for hours hours, the file is removed. Following this, one or more directories may be given for tmpwatch to clean up.
-a, -−all
Remove all file types, not just regular files and directories.
-f, -−force
Remove files even if root doesn’t have write access (akin to rm -f).
|
-−test |
Doesn’t remove files, but goes through the motions of removing them. This implies −v. | ||
|
-v |
Print a verbose display. Two levels of verboseness are available -- use this option twice to get the most verbose output. |
