Here is a careful cleanup script that works without your notification requirement, and without your appkeep requirement that you added in post#5.
Code:
 cat cleantmp.sh

Code:
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin
export PATH
max_days=30
owner_to_keep="root nobody"
case $1 in
-ok)
 owner_to_keep=$2
 shift 2
 ;;
esac
case $1 in
[0-9]*)
 max_days=$1
 shift
 ;;
esac
dirs_to_clean=${@:-/tmp}
omit=""
for i in $owner_to_keep
do
 omit="$omit ( ! -user $i )"
done

for dir in $dirs_to_clean
do
 [ -d "$dir" ] &&
 cd "$dir" &&
 find . -depth \! -type d \( -mtime +$max_days -o -mtime -0 \) \( -atime +$max_days -ctime +5 -o -ctime +$max_days -atime +5 -o -type l \) $omit -delete -exec echo RM {} \; -o -type d -empty $omit -mtime +$max_days -delete -exec echo RMDIR {} \; 2>/dev/null
 sleep 1
done
exit 0

Run this as
Code:
 /path/to/cleantmp.sh 10 /opt/modules/* > deleted.log

For a first test you can omit the -delete and only look at the deleted.log

set_color

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME

       set_color - set_color - set the terminal color

set_color - set the terminal color
   Synopsis
       set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]

   Description
       Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
       cyan, white and normal.

       o -b, --background Set the background color

       o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names

       o -h, --help Display help message and exit

       o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode

       o -u, --underline Set underlined mode

       o -v, --version Display version and exit

       Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.

       Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
       font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.

       Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.

       set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
       incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
       ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
