TMPREAPER.CONF(5)

NAME
tmpreaper.conf - defines parameters for daily run of tmpreaper

DESCRIPTION
tmpreaper is run daily via the /etc/cron.daily/tmpreaper script. Its behaviour can be tuned via the /etc/tmpreaper.conf file. This file can contain settings entries to override the defaults in the cron.daily script itself. These settings are:

TMPREAPER_TIME
    the max. age of files before they're removed. Default:
    TMPREAPER_TIME=7d

TMPREAPER_PROTECT_EXTRA
    extra patterns that you may want to protect. Example:
    TMPREAPER_PROTECT_EXTRA='/tmp/isdnctrl* /tmp/important*'
    Don't forget to enclose the patterns in quotes, like above.

TMPREAPER_DIRS
    the directories to clean up.
    NEVER supply / here! That will wipe most of your system!
    Example:
    TMPREAPER_DIRS='/tmp/. /var/tmp/.'
    Again, don't forget to enclose the patterns in quotes, like above.

TMPREAPER_DELAY
    defines the maximum (randomized) delay before starting processing. This is passed as the --delay parameter.

TMPREAPER_ADDITIONALOPTIONS
    defines any additional parameters you want to pass to the tmpreaper program, e.g. --all
