If you let your machine run the Unix daily cron job (shortly after 3AM as
shipped), it should clean up stuff in temp that is more than 3 days old
(for a somewhat special definition of "days"). It will also rotate various
logs (weekly does some, too) and do other cleanup. (If you don't rotate
the logs, you'll eventually use lots of space.
While I was still switching my G4 between Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X, I modified
the crontab entries to run the daily script at 8:01 AM weekdays (9:01
weekends) when I was reasonably sure the machine would be running Mac OS X.
(Weekly at 8:06 AM Friday; monthly at 8:40 or so on the first.)
Now that the G4 is running Mac OS X 7x24, I could revert to the "standard"
times, but I haven't bothered.
MacJanitor is a good GUI tool for running these scripts by hand, for those
who don't keep the machine on.

Brian has other goodies available as well.
