 |
|
I wanted to wipe my tmp directory clean upon an system shutdown to keep that directory clean, due to the fact that its a laptop it probably will be seeing frequire suspend or shutdown atleast. So for most part wipping the tmp directory on shutdown would work just fine for that purpose.
Anyway so i went ahead and added this following code to my local.stop config file and now whenever i shutdown the laptop i get this error: Failed to stop local.
which has me puzzled.
anyway here's my local.stop

rm -f /tmp/* &>/dev/null
rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /tmp/* &>/dev/null
|
so anyone got any ideas? i tried to search but the search stripped out several items in my search pattern and returned items that wasn't even close to the topic. |

Have you already tried something more simple in your local.stop like this?
Do you have other commands in your local.stop?
What about the log messages? Have you received something about it?
