I checked the package list here:
I’m not seeing tmpwatch. Is there a package for SLES 11 SP3 that would accomplish the same thing?
I just need a process to auto delete files in a directory after a certain time period. I suppose I could script something from scratch, but thought a package if one existed, would be better.
Thanks
Hi
You can always grab the 2.11 src rpm and rebuild locally and install.
all unsupported of course?

Which directory do you want to clean up? You can achieve the above by
configuring cron to clean up directories via /etc/sysconfig/cron without
the need for tmpwatch. Settings to change in /etc/sysconfig/cron are
MAX_DAYS_IN_TMP, MAX_DAYS_IN_LONG_TMP, TMP_DIRS_TO_CLEAR, and
LONG_TMP_DIRS_TO_CLEAR.
