Hi all,
I saw this on https://old.reddit.com/r/unix :

It's about (the lack of) scratch files in csh. Maybe somebody here know
what happened to the feature ?
Cheers,
Edouard.
From the phraseology in the paper ("The system will remove ....")
it sounds
to me like it was not a csh feature at all, but rather that the UCB
systems had a cron job to run something like
find / -name '#*' -mtime +7 -exec rm {} \;
It's easy enough to research this in the archives, if you have the energy.
:-)
HTH,
Arnold
