IMHO this issue is not RESOLVED. No one expects that waste is accumulating if programs are terminated by forcibly closing the terminal (i.e. an xterm) they're running within. There is no need for crashes at all. You simply need an open xterm running mc and someone terminates your login session. Nothing exceptional at all! Imagine you loose the internet connection during a session where you parse a rpm on the net - boum, mc hangs and you are _forced_ to terminate the session by closing the terminal. If you think my script is not ok, the solution could be that mc marks the temp-directory as "dirty" when starting up and cleans it if the dirty mark has not been removed at next start. But this implies programming scills I cannot provide - I can play with scripts - but that's about it. Deleting the directory at each start would imply to know that there are no other instances of mc running, what I'd consider difficult. Thank you for looking into this, take care Dieter Jurzitza -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
