.UC 4
.SH NAME
tmpreaper.conf \- defines parameters for daily run of tmpreaper

.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBtmpreaper\fR is run daily via the /etc/cron.daily/tmpreaper script. Its
behaviour can be tuned via the /etc/tmpreaper.conf file. This file can contain
settings entries to override the defaults in the cron.daily script itself.
These settings are:

.TP
\fBTMPREAPER_TIME\fR
the max. age of files before they're removed. Default:
.br
TMPREAPER_TIME=7d

.TP
\fBTMPREAPER_PROTECT_EXTRA\fR
extra patterns that you may want to protect. Example:
.br
TMPREAPER_PROTECT_EXTRA='/tmp/isdnctrl* /tmp/important*'
.br
Don't forget to enclose the patterns in quotes, like above.

.TP
\fBTMPREAPER_DIRS\fR
the directories to clean up.
.br
\fBNEVER\fR supply / here! That will wipe most of your system!
.br
Example:
.br
TMPREAPER_DIRS='/tmp/. /var/tmp/.'
.br
Again, don't forget to enclose the patterns in quotes, like above.

.TP
\fBTMPREAPER_DELAY\fR
defines the maximum (randomized) delay before starting processing.
This is passed as the --delay parameter.

.TP
\fBTMPREAPER_ADDITIONALOPTIONS\fR
defines any additional parameters you want to pass to the tmpreaper program,
e.g. --all
