See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for -more information about the big picture. - -.PP -If given no arguments, \fIdbus\-cleanup\-sockets\fP cleans up sockets -in the standard default socket directory for the -per\-user\-login\-session message bus; this is usually /tmp. -Optionally, you can pass a different directory on the command line. - -.PP -On Linux, this program is essentially useless, because D\-Bus defaults -to using "abstract sockets" that exist only in memory and don't have a -corresponding file in /tmp. - -.PP -On most other flavors of UNIX, it's possible for the socket files to -leak when programs using D\-Bus exit abnormally or without closing -their D\-Bus connections. Thus, it might be interesting to run -dbus\-cleanup\-sockets in a cron job to mop up any leaked sockets. -Or you can just ignore the leaked sockets, they aren't really hurting -anything, other than cluttering the output of "ls /tmp" - -.SH AUTHOR -dbus\-cleanup\-sockets was adapted by Havoc Pennington from -linc\-cleanup\-sockets written by Michael Meeks. - -.SH BUGS -Please send bug reports to the D\-Bus mailing list or bug tracker, -see http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ |
