Another instance of a Linux regression, IMHO.  Used to be anything in /tmp
was supposedly safe to be erased on boot, and often was.  Then again, disk
space used to be expensive.

"tmpwatch" is the command you are looking for, but the default
"/etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch" script isn't aggressive enough for me (and you,
by the sound of it).  Something like the following would do as a crude
solution:

   #! /bin/sh
   tmpwatch --atime 28d /tmp

I have a "tmpwatch2" script (which will run after the default script) with
my additional commands in it.
