[Gelöst] How to create a cron job to clean up tmp files in openSuse 13.2?

Hi!

Currently, I am using openSuse 13.2. And today, my laptop could only provide me with a console login, since there was no space left on device. Fortunately I was able to clean /tmp/* and /var/tmp/* manually, and now I can use my laptop again.

When I was using an older version of openSuse, I used YaST's
/etc/sysconfig editor to create a cron job to automatically clean temporary files.
There used to be variables such as CLEAR_TMP_DIRS_AT_BOOTUP. But in 13.2 I can not find these variables. So, the old recipe to prevent my disk to fill up apparently does not work with openSuse 13.2 any more.

What can I do now to prevent the problem from happening again?

Best regards,
Simon

Here you go!

Ich glaube, diesen Thread kann man als "erledigt" markieren. Allerdings zeigte sich, dass mein eigentliches Problem (mein Laptop gibt mir kein graphisches login mehr, weil er trotz vorhandenen Platzes nicht mehr nach /tmp schreiben kann) dadurch nicht gelöst wurde. Aber dafür habe ich ein neues Thema geöffnet.

Viele Grüße,

I just updated the title, so that it can be marked as solved"
