Thanks.  Checked those.  weekly is empty.  hourly contains the anacron
trigger file and  "mcelog.cron" which contains only comments.

Not sure what you mean by specific hours of the day.  I don't know how
to tell when a file is removed from /tmp/, if that's what you mean.

/tmp is not mounted at all on my system.  It is a merely an ordinary
subdir of /.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Keep 'em coming.
