to verify that cron.daily was working. It was.
Then I tried executing (as root)
[root@mavis root]# /usr/sbin/tmpwatch 240 /tmp
and I *still* have a bunch of old files in /tmp
[root@mavis root]# find /tmp -ctime +10 | wc -l
613

I do see a list of empty dirs that make /tmp look untidy.
An "rmdir /tmp/* " cleans out only the empty ones.
