I hope you know perl since filereaper is still in perl4 syntax. :-)

Please make sure filereaper does what we need. In my opinion a save-rm might
be a good alternative (see filereaper comments for details).

Would it be a good idea to add a line like

find / -xdev -type f -name core -atime 7 -exec /bin/rm {} \;

to /etc/crontab?
