(Optional) WORKAREA and /tmp cleanup
| This customization task does not require assistance, special resources, or special customization tasks. |
Legacy ISPF Gateway uses the WORKAREA and /tmp directories
to store temporary work files, which are removed before the session
is closed. However, temporary output is sometimes left behind, for
example, if there is a communication error while processing. Therefore,
clear the WORKAREA and /tmp directories
from time to time.
z/OS® UNIX provides a shell script, skulker,
that deletes files according to the directory they are in and their
age. Combined with the z/OS UNIX cron daemon,
which runs commands at specified dates and times, you can set up an
automated tool that periodically cleans targeted directories. For
more information about the skulker script and the cron daemon,
see UNIX System Services
Command Reference (SA22-7802).
WORKAREA is located in /var/zexpl/,
unless you specified a different location when you customized and
submitted the FEK.SFEKSAMP(FEKSETUP) job. For more
details, see Customization setup.
