[rt-devel] Re: RT/apache creating many directories in /tmp

[Jeff Sheltren]

Hi Bill, thanks for the info.  I'm not aware of redhat/linux having a
similar feature - although I could do it pretty easily through crontab
or cfengine.  It just bugs me because these directories should be
getting cleaned up by RT in the first place IMO...
