Please let me know what is the meaning of "upstream" because the behaviour
leaving waste if killed is not ok - I had had harddisk overflows due to this
behaviour (and I do not see what is dangerous about my script!)
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
