Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

tmpfiles: "e" takes globs. Fixes #7369

Description of problem:
tmpfiles.d(5) Documentation states that the e should accept wildcards,

e
           Clean directory contents based on the age argument. Lines of this type accept shell-style globs in place of normal path names.

This was opened as issue #7369 on systemd's issue tracker, https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/7369 and the patch is fairly trivial.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-219-57.el7_5.3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
mkdir -p /tmp/foo123
touch /tmp/foo123/deleteme
echo "e /tmp/foo* - - - 1s" >> /etc/tmpfiles.d/foo.conf
echo /tmp/foo*
sleep 2s
env SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug systemd-tmpfiles --clean

Actual results:
/tmp/foo123
Running clean action for entry e /tmp/foo*
Cannot open directory "/tmp/foo*": No such file or directory
Directory "/tmp/foo*": No such file or directory

Expected results:
Running clean action for entry e /tmp/foo*
Cleanup threshold for directory "/tmp/foo123" is Mon 2018-10-22 12:14:40.547361 EDT
unlink "/tmp/foo123/deleteme"
Restoring access and modification time on "/tmp/foo123": Mon 2018-10-22 12:13:24.215241 EDT, Mon 2018-10-22 12:10:55.033288 EDT
