I did not see a reply to this. I certainly don't have a clue what application leaves those. I would look for some application beginning with svi. Additionally, you can use the lsof command to track open files. Most applications that create temporary files SHOULD create them in the /tmp or /var/tmp directory and clean up after themselves. Compilers generally create a bunch of temp files along the way, but they are good at cleaning up. On 18 Nov 2002 at 20:02, Mindbender wrote:
