Want to automatically search and destroy core files that might linger on your system? Insert the following line in your /etc/cron.daily directory and make it executable: find / -name core -atime +5 -exec rm -f “{}” ‘;’ This will look for any files named ‘core’ that haven’t been touched in 5 days (and it won’t look in other filesystems) and delete them automatically.
