Or none of the above. For a long while now there have bee how-to guides about this yet we still have people who don't follow simple 'good practice' that is 'play nice with others' and 'pick up after yourself'. I almost said that it was people crossing over from Windows who didn't understand multi-user systems but I suspect its not as simple as that.
No, it is not Windows mindset. I learnt programming with msdos, and my programs cleared after themselves, unless they crashed.
Agreed, its just as likely just crappy programming, where programmers come rely on EXACTLY the subject of this entire thread (clean tmp directories automatically) rather than cleaning up after themselves. Most of my adult life I've been programming for the Windows environment, and I have yet to find a use case where I had to write a socket to disk even when I had thousands of them open at once. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
