Hi, 

    Oh, sorry, how if I really don't want to clean /tmp while the machine
is running, and want to clean /tmp when reboot ... ?

    There're many applications need /tmp to store their sockets.

    It's possible if a screen socket idles for one or 2 weeks, then the
owner comes back to "screen -r".

    Or a mysql or postgresql sockets (even more) that idle for a really
long time but need to connect to the demon at any time.

    But, if the /tmp is cleared while the machine is still running,
it will put people into trouble. :(

    I've taken a look at the diff bewteen rev 1.6 and 1.7, and afraid that
would cause problem.

    Sir, since some people need to clean /tmp, /var/tmp, /compat/linux/tmp,
while the machine is running, and some other people don't want this happen,
could you please let it check something like "$clear_tmp_onthefly_enable" 
rather then just "$clear_tmp_enable" ? We (er, at least me) need more 
flexibility...

Regards,
Clive
