Clem tmp directory

tmpwatch is the service which removes files form /tmp which haven’t been accessed for a period of time.
By default it is called in the system as a cron.daily script (/etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch)

The  hours  parameter  defines the threshold for removing files.
If the file has not been accessed for hours mentioned, the file is removed.

I kindly request you to refer to the following manual page for more information on tmpwatch.  man 8 tmpwatch
