Using systemd-tmpfiles to remove a file pattern by age
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
It seems like systemd tmpfiles.d is replacing tmpwatch in those distros using systemd now. But how is someone supposed do something like "Delete all files matching /tmp/tmp*.nii if older than 1 day". I have tried
r /tmp/tmp*.nii - - - 1d
which right now deletes them no matter what the age. Deep in the man page is explains the age paramater is not supported by 'r'. Only by 'd' and 'D' and 'e' which do not work for file patterns. This seems like a common critical function systemd should be able to do if it is replacing tmpwatch
