Hello,
OpenSuSe 13.1
I want to create a directory in /var/run - say, /var/run/sm-client/.
After a reboot, this directory is no longer there. What thingy is removing it and how may I have control over my own machine again?
You always have had control over your machine. If you run the 'mount' command you will see a line tmpfs on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755) which tells you that this is a dynamically generated file system. Use of 'apropos' and perhaps google will lead you to the relevant config file directory, and the contents there of are documented ... TMPFILES.D(5) As I said, you always did have control over your machine. I have this in 12.3 and IIR it was in previous releases as well. In defiance of the RoR adage, Linux is built around configuration files. Much more so than UNIX ever was. Perhaps we need an acronym similar to "RTFM" to mean that its controlled by a config file. -- How long did the whining go on when KDE2 went on KDE3? The only universal constant is change.
