Elsewhere in this thread, someone mentions tmpfiles.d.

There is a configuration file in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d named tmp.conf
which can be copied to /etc/conf.d and modified as needed.

- From what I've been able to piece together, one can then run
"systemd-tmpfiles --clean" in a cron job. But in a Linode with both
limited memory and limited disk, this seems like a really good idea.

It's hard to tell if this actually works from a directory listing
because unless you specify the right options, it won't tell you the
last date since any of these files have been accessed.
