The autotrash package was mentioned. I have this script:
#!/bin/bash
# remove files older than 10 days
OLD=10
#pre každý prípojný bod, ktorý je blokové zariadenie
for MOUNTPOINT in $(mount | egrep "^/dev" | awk '{print $1 "@" $3}'); do
#DEVICE=${MOUNTPOINT/@*}
#echo "Debug: $DEVICE"
PATH=${MOUNTPOINT#*@}
TRASH=${PATH}/.Trash-${UID}
if [ -d ${TRASH} ]; then
autotrash --days $OLD --trash-path $TRASH &
fi
done
This script is regularly executed from my fcrontab, but you can call it
from the ~/.xsessionrc file. Script cheecks the mount points and the
.Trash-$UID directories, then executes the autotrash on these
directories (Trash's paths).
