Identify what u wanna delete like praka dude said and then make a lil shell script of it all => ur own "tune up utilities" !

it would have been nice if someone can make a tuneup thing for Linux

 

[QwertyManiac]

You need a full blown software like Tune Up just to delete browser cache? WTH

how to create a shell script ?
If i want to remove files from ~.mozilla/firefox/vi1s46pw.default/cache

#!/bin/bash
rm -rf ~.mozilla/firefox/vi1s46pw.default/cache/*.

is enough or do i have 2 add somthing.

Btw alternatively I can add entry in crontab file !!!!!

Wth?! whats the big deal here?

Just go to Firefox preferences under Privacy and set it to clear whatever you want everytime Firefox exits or something.

^^ Thats what I was about to reply!
Why can't u guys think simple? Its linux does not mean everything has to be complex or shell oriented!

I dont want to clear history (urls).I just want to clear cookies and temporary internet files which are downloaded while surfing.

You do know you can clear what you want in FF right?

Nope, adding entry for such a thing to cron is a bad idea! Neways, the rm line is erroneous I guess! Its like this

rm -rf ~/.mozilla/firefox/vi1s46pw.default/cache/*.

1. Save the file in ur $HOME/bin, say as "tuneup"
2. Command "chmod +x $HOME/bin/tuneup"
3. Append "$HOME/bin" to ur PATH (~/.bash_profile for fedora , ~/.profile for ubuntu)
4. And then command "tuneup" from terminal!


U can add /tmp folder etc accordingly.
