DESCRIPTION

       tmpreaper  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:


       TMPREAPER_TIME
              the max. age of files before they're removed. Default:
              TMPREAPER_TIME=7d


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


       TMPREAPER_DIRS
              the directories to clean up.
              NEVER supply / here! That will wipe most of your system!
              Example:
              TMPREAPER_DIRS='/tmp/. /var/tmp/.'
              Again, don't forget to enclose  the  patterns  in  quotes,  like
              above.
