Maintaining /tmp
Authored by: Lizard_King on Oct 18, '02 11:09:23AM

So then how do you perform regular maintenance on the /tmp directory? In other words, when the /tmp directory starts growing past your acceptable limits, how do you delete old files (that you've verified are OK to go of course)? Do you temporarily disable the alias? is there a better way?

% \\rm /path/to/filename

the backslash will disable command line alias expansion
