Operating Systems AIX what is creating the files in /tmp Post 302258756 by mbak on Saturday 15th of November 2008 09:58:25 PM

Thanks for your response but I just don't want to delete files because there are like quite a bunch of files (owned by root/system) created every other day and I'm afraid of deleting that might be related to some application/OS even though its in /tmp which usually have files that are not really important.

Anyways I'm trying to find where these files are being generated from and for this I'm looking at the option of setting up 'audit' mode, keep you guys posted.

Thanks again.

Can all files under /tmp be safely removed

NAME
globus-gram-audit - Load GRAM4 and GRAM5 audit records into a database SYNOPSIS
globus-gram-audit [--conf CONFIG_FILE] [[--create] | [--update=OLD-VERSION]] [--check] [--delete] [--audit-directory AUDITDIR] [--quiet] DESCRIPTION
The globus-gram-audit program loads audit records to an SQL-based database. It reads $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/globus-job-manager.conf by default to determine the audit directory and then uploads all files in that directory that contain valid audit records to the database configured by the globus_gram_job_manager_auditing_setup_scripts package. If the upload completes successfully, the audit files will be removed. The full set of command-line options to globus-gram-audit consist of: --conf CONFIG_FILE Use CONFIG_FILE instead of the default from the configuration file for audit database configuration. --check Check whether the insertion of a record was successful by querying the database after inserting the records. This is used in tests. --delete Delete audit records from the database right after inserting them. This is used in tests to avoid filling the databse with test records. --audit-directory DIR Look for audit records in DIR, instead of looking in the directory specified in the job manager configuration. This is used in tests to control which records are loaded to the database and then deleted. --query SQL Perform the given SQL query on the audit database. This uses the database information from the configuration file to determine how to contact the database. --quiet Reduce the amount of output for common operations. FILES
The globus-gram-audit uses the following files (paths relative to $GLOBUS_LOCATION. etc/globus-gram-job-manager.conf GRAM5 job manager configuration. It includes the default path to the audit directory etc/globus-gram-audit.conf Audit configuration. It includes the information needed to contact the audit database.
