Hi there!

I would appreciate it if some knowledgeble person could answer the
following query.

In the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root file I notice a couple
of lines

        find /tmp -mount -type f -atime +2 -exec rm -f {} \;
        find /var/tmp -mount -type f -atime +7 -exec rm -f {} \;

Now, if I start a batch job using the "at" command
the system creates a couple of files (croutaaaa, etc)
in the /tmp directory.
If my batch job runs for more than 7 days, will these
files be deleted due to the above entries in the root crontab
file? Thanks for any info.
