Topic

Updated tmpwatch packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The tmpwatch utility recursively searches through specified directories and
removes files which have not been accessed in a specified period of time.
Tmpwatch usually cleans up directories which are used for temporarily holding
files, for example /tmp/.

  • Some files necessary for the operation of the SAP HANA database manager do not

have their access times modified during normal operations. Previously, the
tmpwatch utility removed such files after 10 days, which caused SAP HANA to
fail. This update excludes these files from the tmpwatch check, and thus allow
SAP HANA to work uninterrupted for longer periods. (BZ#1271783)

Users of tmpwatch are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
