You can see the defaults in /etc/defaults/periodic.conf and override them in /etc/periodic.conf For example: # 100.clean-disks daily_clean_disks_enable="NO" # Delete files daily daily_clean_disks_files="[#,]* .#* a.out *.core *.CKP .emacs_[0-9]*" daily_clean_disks_days=3 # If older than this daily_clean_disks_verbose="YES" # Mention files deleted
