[Mapserver-users] How to empty the TMP directory

[Paul Ramsey]

Something which preserves the more recent temp files while deleting the 
older ones is always wise, I like the all-in-one functionality of find:

find /maptmp -type f -cmin +15 -exec /bin/rm {} ';'

There used to be a utility on the MMS site for doing this under windows; I think a search of the list's archive would turn up the code. Unders *nix you'll want a cron job that runs a script that deletes all files that are older than some amount of time. I can provide a snippet that works under Solarix but don't know about the linux variants.
