Random Linux Tips

1. Automatically clear cache.

Description: Move files older than a specific amount of time from your user's ~/.cache directory to the trash.
Requires: (https://github.com/PhrozenByte/rmtrash)[rmtrash].
How-To:

• Add the following line to your crontab using the command "crontab -e" (or EDITOR=$editor crontab -e)

0 17 * * * /usr/bin/find ~/.cache/* -mtime +7 -exec /usr/bin/rmtrash -rf {} ;

• This command looks at files in ~/.cache every day at 5 p.m. and moves files older than 7 days to the trash. Additionally: This can also be done using regular "rm" instead of "rmtrash".
