Here is following commands to clear unwanted stuff from the /tmp partition on the server?

tmpwatch –mtime –all 48 /tmp

The above command will remove all files and folders from the /tmp which have not been accessed in the last couple of days (24×2=48). You can modify the number of hours as required.

If you need to change your server clock to another timezone for e.g. (Indian Standard Time), you can do so by modifying the /etc/localtime file:

mv /etc/localtime /etc/localtime.bak

ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Calcutta /etc/localtime

If you have root access to the server then open the file /etc/aliases in your favorite editor. Look for the section Person who should get root mail and make the change as required.

vim /etc/aliases

Person who should get root’s mail  ##
root:   info@unixserveradmin.com

Instead of the first five fields, you can use any one of eight special strings. It will not just save your time but it will improve readability.

Special string    Meaning
@reboot ——> Run once, at startup.
@yearly ——> Run once a year, “0 0 1 1 *”.
@annually –> (same as @yearly)
@monthly —> Run once a month, “0 0 1 * *”.
@weekly —–> Run once a week, “0 0 * * 0″.
@daily ——–> Run once a day, “0 0 * * *”.
@midnight –> (same as @daily)
@hourly —–> Run once an hour, “0 * * * *”.

For e.g. run ntpdate every hour:
@hourly /path/to/ntpdatevim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
