What were you trying to do?
Run daemons on my workstation that use /tmp for temporary work
file storage.
What's wrong:
/etc/athena/reactivate keeps on blowing away the work files in
/tmp in the middle of the daemons' work.
What should have happened:
Reactivate should assume that workstations where PUBLIC=false
might be running processes when no one is actually logged in.
They should use -mtime +3 or something to only delete files in
/tmp that are old. Only a reboot should clear all files in
/tmp.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
/etc/athena/reactivate, /etc/rc.
