Re: How to prevent /tmp files from being deleted at reboot

[MI <mi.lists.debian@alma.ch>]

OK, so you have an empty /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf which indeed works to completely 
avoid cleaning up /tmp at reboot.

That is, it works as an equivalent to TMPTIME=-1. But I do want to cleanup /tmp, just 
with some value of TMPTIME > 0.

Anyway, thanks. It at least confirms that the /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf is indeed 
read, and does override the defaults.
