NAME

       dbus-cleanup-sockets - clean up leftover sockets in a directory

SYNOPSIS

       dbus-cleanup-sockets [DIRECTORY]

DESCRIPTION

       The dbus-cleanup-sockets command cleans up unused D-Bus connection sockets. See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for more informa-
       tion about the big picture.

       If given no arguments, dbus-cleanup-sockets cleans up sockets in the standard default socket directory for the per-user-login-session  mes-
       sage bus; this is usually /tmp.	Optionally, you can pass a different directory on the command line.

       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.

       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"
