I plan to write a c program. and the c program will create ascii text files each time it runs.

how can I write the C program, or customize my Linux environment so the text files get deleted exactly after an hour they are created?

thankx, linuxquestions!

2 options
1.Put the create & remove programs in cron.
2. write a wrapper daemon that loops once an hr; see sleep cmd
