Description Craig Lawson 2003-05-17 18:22:48 EDT

Description of problem:
The tmpwatch documentation claims it can handle multiple directories on the
command line. It can't.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tmpwatch-2.8.4-5

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd /tmp
2. mkdir d1 d2
3. tmpwatch 240 d1 d2

    
Actual results:
error: lstat() of directory d2 failed: No such file or directory

Expected results:
I expected no complaints.

Comment 1 C. Ray Ng 2004-04-01 13:39:32 EST

I do want to clean up multiple directories in /tmp/orbit-*,
and that seems to work as long as they aren't the relative path.

i.e. as in your example, this should be fine: 
tmpwatch 240 /tmp/d1 /tmp/d2

Comment 2 Miloslav Trmač 2004-08-14 17:13:07 EDT

This should be fixed in tmpwatch-2.9.1-1, to show up in rawhide shortly.
