[Slackbuilds-users] tmpwatch

[Didier Spaier]

Out of curiosity, I have build and installed it.

The most recent version (2.11) that you can find here:
https://pagure.io/tmpwatch/releases
is 7 years old. It probably still works and there is a man page.

This being said, I certainly wouldn't use such a tool
to cleaning old files in /tmp or elsewhere, but you
may like it. Then, you could submit a SlackBuild for it?

I attach the man page.

To build it, you can take inspiration from:
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=tmpwatch
Nothing fancy.

Best,

Didier
