Description : tmpwatch is a utility searches for files not accessed in a
specific time and deletes them
The tmpwatch utility recursively searches through specified directories and
removes files which have not been accessed in a specified period of time.
tmpwatch is normally used to clean up directories which are used for
temporarily holding files (for example, /tmp).
- While Debian removes files in the /tmp directory, other files may have
temporary files that needs to be cleaned periodically. tmpwatch is
ideally used
as a cron-job.
- how do you plan to maintain it?
tmpwatch has not had any activity for over 5 years. Originally written by
Erik Troan <[email protected]>, Preston Brown <[email protected]>, Mike A.
Harris
<[email protected]>, Miloslav Trmač <[email protected]>, I have forked
off and
added some enhancements.
However, packaging for Debian has been challenging since the autogen I wrote
fetches a submodule which creates lots of files not in the source package. I
would need a mentor to help me get this off the ground.
