Re: Cron <gump@gump-vm> /usr/bin/find /tmp -type f -ctime +6 | /usr/bin/xargs -r /bin/rm > /dev/null 2>&1

I got the redirects wrong.

I think it should be:

/usr/bin/find /tmp -type f -ctime +6 2>/dev/null | /usr/bin/xargs -r /bin/rm

i.e. drop error reports from find, but keep any other output (rm
should be silent unless there is an error)
