Hi All,

I'm new here and also new on CentOs. My boss ask me to do a preventive maintenance on CentOs. What is the step/command to delete unwanted files.

Thanks

Step 1: define unwanted files

Come back when you've clarified the answer to that...

Thanks for reply.. What I mean is like temp files in windows.

Thanks

There's a package called tmpwatch that you can install with yum then configure /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch to adjust the paths and time limits to look for. Use `yum install tmpwatch` then read the manpage for tmpwatch.

FYI, our client did not install GUI, I'm only using command prompt to delete unwanted files.

Thanks

The tmpwatch package doesn't need a GUI nor does editing the cron.daily file to adjust paths.
