Disable Safari's ability to handle PDF files
Authored by: Brock Lee on May 29, '05 08:48:35PM

Are items cleared from here on quitting Safari?

The items in /tmp are removed semi-regularly. They are not necessarily removed when Safari quits unless Safari itself does so. Otherwise, the operating system will clean it periodically.

It looks like this cleaning task is handled by the "daily" script (/private/etc/daily) which is run on a daily basis. And the policy built into the script is that items which have neither been created or accessed within the last three days will be removed.
