Any tip for the cronjob ? 15 days old files ? Something like : > find /var/cache/roundcube/temp -type f -mtime +15 -print0 | xargs -0 rm it really depends on the application and what the data in question is. if it's data that will only be used once ever, perhaps it's overkill to be using /var/cache at all and /var/tmp would be better. if it's data that might be used a few times and regenerated if needed, then /var/cache is definitely the right place for it. in any case, if you use something outside of /var/tmp, i'd suggest making the mtime parameter configurable: MAX_TMPFILE_LIFETIME=15 # MAX_TMPFILE_LIFETIME can be overridden in this file if [ -r /etc/default/roundcube ]; then . /etc/default/roundcube fi find /var/cache/roundcube/temp -type f -mtime +$MAX_TMPFILE_LIFETIME ... sean
