REMOVING UNWANTED FILES IN AIX


Removing Obsolete Files

Occasionally, you need to remove unwanted and unneeded files from your system. AIX provides you with the skulker command, which allows you to automatically track and remove obsolete files. This facilityworks on candidate files located in the /tmp directory, executable a.out files, core files, and ed.hup files.

To run the skulker command, type
# skulker -p

You can automate the skulker command by setting up the cron facility to perform this task regularly.
