    | People leaving things in /tmp should not expect them to remain
    | there as /usr/lib/cleantmp is scanning /tmp weekly to remove
    | old files. Except-- on systems with Backup Edge installed:
    | Backup Edge with default simple_job is resetting the access
    | time of all the files on a system every time it performs a
    | scheduled backup. Therefore cleantemp never removes files
    | from /tmp and /usr/tmp.
    |
    | I had to enable advance scheduling in Backup Edge and edit
    | the "domain" specification to change "preserve atime [N]"
    | to "Y" and change Diff/Incremental level from "2" to "1"
    | to stop Backup Edge from resetting the access time on each backup.

    That's one solution; another is to edit line 85 of /usr/lib/cleantmp:
            s/atime/mtime/
