- I have this line in my daily script file:
-
- # Clean out old .nfs files.
- find / -name .nfs\* -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \; -o -fstype nfs -prune
-
- I know I didn't put it there, so I assume it came with the system. This
- command will search the entire file system for any and all .nfs*** files
- which have been modified in the past week and remove them.
