thank you for being patient with me. I saw the man page but I also tried using codesearch to look for other packages doing the same thing already and was unable to find one. This made me doubt whether I had understood this correctly. For example, tmpfiles.d(5) makes it look like there are several minuses required after the path but apparently those are optional. I've never written such files before, so your input is useful for me, thank you! > > And just to confirm (I read this elsewhere in this thread): if my > > /etc/fstab has an entry for /tmp (with a tmpfs) does this automatically > > mean that no cleanup will happen or do i still have to put something into > > /etc to disable the periodic cleanup? > That's something different, fstab is about whether /tmp is a tmpfs or not, > cleanups still happen regardless of the filesystem type. I shall put the following into my local /etc/tmpfiles.d/josch.conf to disable the cleanup of /tmp completely, then: x /tmp Thanks! cheers, josch
