Description D J Hawkey Jr 2002-03-04 20:20:01 UTC 
/etc/periodic/daily/100.clean-disks should have "exclude paths".
/etc/periodic/daily/110.clean-tmps removes empty directories, and should
not, IMHO.

Fix: These two patches. The first, for 100.clean-disks, honors a new variable,
daily_clean_disks_excludes (ex., "*/home/*"). The second, for 110.clean-tmps,
honors a new variable, daily_clean_tmps_prune (ex., "YES" or "NO").
Additionally, they both actually make their *_verbose variables do the
Right Thing(tm), and could pro'lly be applied to many more of the periodic
scripts.

They both should be scrutinized for correctness. They test out fine here,
and fulfill my needs, but may not be generic enough, and I may be blind to
some nuances of 'find' and/or 'periodic'.
How-To-Repeat: 
Enable either in /etc/periodic.conf
