Hello,
You obviously run HP-UX 11.1 or 11.23.
They are not designed to automate
cleanup of /var/tmp at boot time.
/etc/rc.config.d/clean_tmps was
only meant for cleaning up /tmp.
However, you could modify /sbin/init.d/clean_tmps and
replace the following lines:
orig_dir="/" # we start out at '/' (root)
cd /tmp
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "ERROR: could not change to directory "
echo "ERROR: no cleaning done"
rval=1
else
echo "NOTE: Clearing files from /tmp"
# ll |grep "^d.*"|awk '{print $9}'|grep -v "lost+found"|xargs rm -rf
#
# fix for DSDe443580: Begin :
# /sbin/init.d/clean_tmps script fails with large numbers of files in the
# /tmp directory.
# rm command was failing because the argument list was greater than ARG_MAX.
# xargs(1) is used to limit the argument size of rm to ARG_MAX.
#
# Fix for Defect JAGab68614 : Bad Patch PHCO_15932
# clean_tmps script will fail if the /tmp directory contains -name file types.
# "rm -rf" is changed to "rm -rf --"
ls | grep -v "lost+found" | xargs rm -rf --
rm lost+found 2>/dev/null
# DSDe443580 : End :
fi
cd $orig_dir
with something like:
orig_dir="/" # we start out at '/' (root)
for cldir in "/tmp /var/tmp"
do
cd /$cldir
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "ERROR: could not change to directory <$cldir>"
echo "ERROR: no cleaning done"
rval=1
else
echo "NOTE: Clearing files from $cldir"
# ll |grep "^d.*"|awk '{print $9}'|grep -v "lost+found"|xargs rm -rf
#
# fix for DSDe443580: Begin :
# /sbin/init.d/clean_tmps script fails with large numbers of files in the
# /tmp directory.
# rm command was failing because the argument list was greater than ARG_MAX.
# xargs(1) is used to limit the argument size of rm to ARG_MAX.
#
# Fix for Defect JAGab68614 : Bad Patch PHCO_15932
# clean_tmps script will fail if the /tmp directory contains -name file types.
# "rm -rf" is changed to "rm -rf --"
ls | grep -v "lost+found" | xargs rm -rf --
rm lost+found 2>/dev/null
# DSDe443580 : End :
fi
cd $orig_dir
done
Note that each patch upgrade will possibly
overwrite /sbin/init.d/clean_tmps so
you need to save the customized copy of
the file...
