FreeBSD has some useful periodic scripts for keeping this kind of thing under control - most of which are off by default. You can see the defaults in /etc/defaults/periodic.conf and override them in /etc/periodic.conf For example: # 100.clean-disks daily_clean_disks_enable="NO" # Delete files daily daily_clean_disks_files="[#,]* .#* a.out *.core *.CKP .emacs_[0-9]*" daily_clean_disks_days=3 # If older than this daily_clean_disks_verbose="YES" # Mention files deleted _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
