No kidding.
I was suggesting that other entries can be made in tmpwatch to clean
other file systems in the same way.
Top posted because the quoting has gotten out of hand.

So add those directories to the ones reaped by tmpwatch.
Take as your model this line in /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch, which cleans
/var/tmp of files not accessed in 30 days (720 hours).
/usr/sbin/tmpwatch 720 /var/tmp
Warning: this advice is RedHat or Fedora specific. There must be an
equivalent for other Linux distributions. In SUSE, one edits
/etc/sysconfig/cron, using YaST2 -> etc/sysconfig Editor.
