done.
The script looks like this:
-----
#!/usr/bin/sh
# clean out files left behind by the compiling that follows patching or
# updating the kernel and/or the driver for the nvidia graphics card.
rm -rf /var/cache/akmods/nvidia/*
exit $?
# done!

That I may better understand...
Am I correct in assuming which shell I use does not matter in this case?
Does not matter
What is the difference between "/usr/bin/sh" and "/bin/sh"?
Those are links to "bash" and
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ ls -i /usr/bin/bash /bin/bash
23070627 /bin/bash 23070627 /usr/bin/bash
Shows they have the same inode. They are hard linked. They are physically the
same.
What day of the week will this be run?
I don't know. But does it really matter? As I said, the number of files to be
deleted will most likely be 2.
I guess there is a small chance that it will be 4.
FWIW, it seems on my systems they are normally run either on Sunday or Monday
at around 3~4AM. But my
systems are up 24/7.
Again, it matters not when it runs. The load to delete 2 files will not be
noticeable.
What is the significance of the "98-" at the beginning of the file name?
Jobs in /etc/cron.weekly are executed sequentially. This just says it will be
done later than others.
You may not have any other scripts in that directory. Depends on what you've
installed.
/var/cache/akmods/nvidia/ was one of the things I cleaned out earlier in this
thread (or this thread's parent), but I can't find how much space that freed.
But I vaguely recall it being a lot.
Yes, but you deleted them. And, again, they are only generated when a kernel
update happens. You update once a week. So, you'll get at most 1 new kernel
which will create 2 files. They are 12.5MB, total.
And they will be soon deleted. That is, within 7 days.
