Begin3 Title: stmpclean -- remove old files from a world-writable directory Version: 0.1 Entered-date: $Date: 1999/08/04 20:18:07 $ Description: The stmpclean utility removes old files (and old empty directories) from the specified directory. It'll be typically used to clean directories such as ``/tmp'' where old files tend to accumulate. The stmpclean utility never removes files or directories owned by root. It is a feature, not a bug. Great care is taken while descending into the directory, and the operation is secure. Unlike floating around Perl scripts that do the same task stmpclean never forks and consumes limited amount of memory (these Perl script easily turn into forking bombs when someone creates a lot a directories under ``/tmp''). If your system is attacked and the attacker creates an extremely deep file hierarchy, stmpclean won't add to the problem by crashing your system trying to remove it.
