buy wgas mugs, tshirts and magnetsUsed on some UNIX systems by System Admins. A special directory is created callled WGAS. Any file(s) where the owner no longer has an account and takes up excess space is placed here. If nobody asks about the missing file for a month or so, the file(s) is deleted. If someone really does care that a file is missing, then it is moved back in place. It's one way of keeping the system free of junk.
There was one system I became the admin of where it was cluttered by logs and report programs. The system was running low on hard drive space so I began asking about the reports. No one knew about them so I move the report programs and the logs into the WGAS directory. After two months nobody complained so I removed them.
The system freed up a few Inodes and I never heard a complaint from anyone. The system has since been replaced.

Fresh from "Laboratoire SY01" is the new NotBeingArsedTM with pro WGAS formula.
Apply daily liberally for best results. Best served with alcohol and takeaway pizza.
97% of contractors say since applying NotBeingArsedTM have enjoyed a 140% increase in fun, and at least a 230% increase in vigorous nightly activities.
New NotBeingArsedTM available from all high street stockists. Go on, treat yourself.
Can someone please explain what this thread is actually about? What is WGAS?
