You could edit /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch, and change: /usr/sbin/tmpwatch 240 /tmp to: /usr/sbin/tmpwatch 720 /tmp Which would give you 30 days. Or write a quick script to modify the access time on the files you want to keep. #! /bin/sh for file in /tmp/apache/* ; do touch -a "$file" done exit Untested, but something similar should do the trick. Just run it as a cron job daily and it should keep the atime current enough that tmpwatch will ignore it. I'm not sure if just touching the apache directory will protect the contents as well, though it probably should. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.2 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjzn3Q8ACgkQn/07WoAb/Ssp8gCeKLIv9jJUMfuBbHpqQZppLDo7 +HwAoKXRpQlXfsA8E3Tf3XzsZJQUt6Bu =UYKs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
