Cleaning /tmp (or whatever) at boot time is stupid. If you boot your machine every 300 days or so, when gets /tmp cleaned? (The bootup cleaning of /tmp is one of the first things that gets killed on all my machines almost immediately after installation.) Get it cleaned by cron, and arrange for all files to live there long enough after the last access. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
