as an aside, two things for the com_ibm_tools_attach directory

Files in /tmp/.com_ibm_tools_attach/ are created by Java virtual machine to implement Java Attach API feature.

I ran across this to stop the logging into that:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1019813

There is also a process to "safely" remove the files.
<pseudo code>
read the directories in /tmp/.com_ibm_tools_attach directory
"the directory "names" are the PID from the job that created them"
check that PID using the qshell command "getjobid"
I used "getjobid -v 12345" where 12345 is the directory name
if no job is found using that PID you can safeely remove that directory.

</pseudo code>

I'm looking at implementing a regularly scheduled cleanup of /tmp.

Are there any system type objects or subdirectories in /tmp which should
NOT be deleted? Things like /.X11-unix or /.com_ibm_tools_attach.

Thanks,


Gord
