- We do this by adding the following lines to /usr/adm/daily on our main
- file server
- # Empty the trash
- rm -rf /u/arafel/*/.NeXT/.NextTrash/*
- rm -rf /u/fenris/*/.NeXT/.NextTrash/*
- rm -rf /u/scratch/.NextTrash/*/*
- ...

- The first two are home directory servers, the last is a general
- purpose disk.
