Slightly OT, but I find I have lots of files in /tmp
of whose purpose I know nothing - including many virtuosi-*.ini .
Some of these on my Fedora-15 system date back to May, eg akonadi-tim* .
I thought /tmp got emptied at regular intervals?
Or does one have to specify this somewhere?
On a weekly basis I run
tmpwatch --mtime --verbose --verbose 168 /tmp
It's amazing how much cruft it takes out weekly (it's intelligent enough to
have an age limit on the files it removes). You can equally run a cron job to
clean a user ~/tmp if you have one.
