By far the largest number (some hundreds of files) are of= =20 the type: prw------- 1 root root 0 Jun 29 23:13 sh-np-1151622697 prw------- 1 root root 0 Jun 29 17:44 sh-np-1151623392 prw------- 1 root root 0 Jun 29 17:44 sh-np-1151623817 prw------- 1 root root 0 Jun 29 23:13 sh-np-1151630251 prw------- 1 root root 0 Jun 29 19:41 sh-np-1151630339 prw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 1 01:14 sh-np-1151697722 prw------- 1 root root 0 Jun 30 21:28 sh-np-1151698413 Are these some process calls that were cought in the /tmp when perhaps the= =20 machine crashed some time in the past, or when I might have shutdown with=20 screen session(s) running in the background - I occasionally forget the odd= =20 screen session and since I don't get some system alert I invariably shutdow= n. =20 8-/ However, there's far too many of them and their atimes seem rather=20 regular. Can/should I delete them? Second largest occurrence I noticed (around 130 dir) is like this: drwx------ 2 michael users 80 Jul 19 08:51 gpg-pYdYc1 drwx------ 2 michael users 80 Jul 19 06:59 gpg-pgQnty drwx------ 2 michael users 80 Apr 24 07:51 gpg-qHHiXP drwx------ 2 michael users 80 Jul 15 00:34 gpg-qT7BVZ drwx------ 2 michael users 80 Jul 10 21:36 gpg-qcGu33 drwx------ 2 michael users 80 May 1 12:18 gpg-rqoxKq drwx------ 2 michael users 80 Jul 10 20:28 gpg-sefR85 Not sure why there are so many of these there. I assume these are created= =20 when gpg-agent is launched and sets the ENV variable? Each one of them has= a=20 file like this in it: # ls -la /tmp/gpg-VLQYJv total 159 drwx------ 2 michael users 80 Jul 8 12:31 . drwxrwxrwt 156 root root 162528 Jul 22 23:12 .. srwxr-xr-x 1 michael users 0 Jul 8 12:31 S.gpg-agent Are these beign created by some error in my set up? Shouldn't they be dele= ted=20 when the gpg-agent exits, when I exit X? Can/should I remove them? If=20 either of these are because of some system configuration error could you=20 please make some suggestions for troubleshooting or fixing it? Let me know= =20 if you need more info. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart16747868.DkDQY2YbGh Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBEwqvC5Fp0QerLYPcRAs+iAJ9SO7Y30vmKtNl0Hcr8ltd2sl/zzQCeMtld Y/acMYHISMP1SCpBUNOcc+s= =K0tn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart16747868.DkDQY2YbGh-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
