.SH NAME
|
|
dbus\-cleanup\-sockets \- clean up leftover sockets in a directory
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B dbus\-cleanup\-sockets [DIRECTORY]
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The \fIdbus\-cleanup\-sockets\fP command cleans up unused D\-Bus
|
|
connection sockets. 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"
