After discovering 137.890 small session leper gnomes in my /tmp filesystem I searched the net and came up with this handy little script: /etc/cron.daily/ruby_sessions: #!/bin/bash find /tmp -maxdepth 0 -name ruby_sess.\* -mtime +168 -exec rm {} \; 168 is how many hours to wait before the killing the session leper gnome. -- SIMEN BREKKEN
