Content Temporary Directory gets removed

I am running RTC 2.0.0.2 and have set 'Content Temporary Directory' to /var/tmp/contentservice on Linux (RedHat).

Is there any known scenario where RTC would remove this directory?

It has got removed twice in the last month causing burnup and burndown reports (amung others) not to generate.

Has anyone else seen this bahavior?

Hi Eoghan,

I may have misunderstood but could you check the information below?

The Temporary Directory may have been deleted by tmpwatch.
It could be useful to check this information.

Thanks for your reply. It looks like tmpwatch is the problem - From /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch it scrubbing /var/tmp every 720 hours (30 days).


$ cat /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch
/usr/sbin/tmpwatch -x /tmp/.X11-unix -x /tmp/.XIM-unix -x /tmp/.font-unix -x /tmp/.ICE-unix -x /tmp/.Test-unix 240 /tmp
/usr/sbin/tmpwatch 720 /var/tmp
for d in /var/{cache/man,catman}/{cat?,X11R6/cat?,local/cat?}; do
if ; then
/usr/sbin/tmpwatch -f 720 $d
fi
done

Does this directory have to reside on a local filesystem?
