remove unnecessary directory and temp....

[Ramana.Sv]

is it possible to remove unnecessary directories and temporary files removing...????

[Oviwan]

of course it is possible.

$rm filename
$rmdir dirname

but be careful...

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom Ramana,

Sure.

rm -rf *

Problem is you are not defining the problem.

Where are the temporary files?
Are they needed for the applicaiton to work?

As far as logging goes sam provides a log trimming facility.

You could right a script that uses find /dirname with the +mtime and at least get rid of stuff that has not been modifired recently.

hi Ramana,

You need to be cautious again.

Unnecessary directories should be defined as "user created directories" and temporary files should be defined as "files created by the application software and which are located in a specific directory".

If you intend to create custom scripts, you need to be careful of not deleting any system or application directories that could cause it to crash.

Otherwise, you can also configure your system so that all temp directories are automatically cleaned on restarts:
e.g.
/etc/rc.config.d/clean,
/etc/rc.config.d/clean_tmps
and
/etc/rc.config.d/clean_uucp

hope this helps too!
kind regards
