I need to generate some files that I only need for the duration of a user's session.
If I create these files in the Rails "tmp" directory, is there any automagic process that will periodically clean out the "tmp" directory, or is that something that I would have to manage myself?
rake tmp:cache:clear # Clears all files and directories in tmp/cache rake tmp:clear # Clear session, cache, and socket files from tmp/ rake tmp:create # Creates tmp directories for sessions, cache, and sockets rake tmp:sessions:clear # Clears all files in tmp/sessions rake tmp:sockets:clear # Clears all files in tmp/sockets
Add one or more of those to your crontab file and that should do it for you...
